Janine Lutz talks about the nonprofit LCpl Janos V. Lutz Live to Tell Foundation, she created in 2019, to help troubled veterans and their families, after her own son Janos Lutz, who suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress, committed suicide, on Thursday May 19, 2022 in Davie, Fla. (Pedro Portal/Miami Herald via AP)

Janos “John” Lutz was 19 when he enlisted in the Marine Corps out of high school, aiming to do his part for his country in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

As he hoped, he was deployed to the front lines in Iraq.
