The Haditha incident is finally over for our family. It has been a grueling 6+ years for all of us and time for us to start over.
The decision our son made at his court martial was the right one for him and his three girls. A decision that made all of us proud. Proud of his courage, proud of his outstanding ability to take responsibility for the actions of his squad, proud of the life he has made for his girls.
Although some of you may disagree with his decision, it was the best one for him and his family and we stand by him unconditionally.
To those who have stood behind our son for the past 6+ years, there are no words to express our gratitude. You have shown your love and support by your words and actions. For that we will always be indebted to you. We could not have made it without you.
As we begin to try to heal our wounds, we hope you will keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

God bless the Wuterichs
Here’s what history will say:
“Tripoli, Chapultepec, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, Guam, Tinian, Saipan, Peleliu,
Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Inchon, Chosin Reservoir, Hue City,
Khe Sanh, Grenada, Beirut, Kuwait, Helmand, Al Anbar, Fallujah, Ramadi, Al-Qa’im, and...
HADITHA!
U.S. Marines fought bravely and well in all these places. The Drinking lamp is now lit!
Hoist a glass to all Devil Dogs!
OOH-RAH!”
Dittos to your statements.
God Bless you and your family! :)
AMEN to what RaceBannon said above! God bless you and your family, Semper Fi Mom. We are grateful for your son's service (and also for your and your family's sacrifice) to our great country.
Thank you for the ping, RaceBannon.
There but for the grace of God...
My son went through Haditha shortly before yours did.
Words cannot express my admiration for your son and for you and your family. Your courage humbles me. May God bless and keep you safe always.
Your son is in my prayers.
May prayers help you and your family find quiet and love during the year’s that follow.
God Bless the Marine’s for they save all of us.
