MSgt B. has a friend in need…
Sam is the only son of Hutch.
Hutch and I went to High School together at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia. Way back in…aw, hell…a long damn time ago.
Hutch and I both served in the First Gulf War. You remember that one, way back when that evil old Saddam invaded poor little Kuwait, and we ran in there and saved the day.
Sam is undergoing some serious medical-type stuff for brain cancer. That’s heavy. Sam’s dad, Hutch, is raising money for cancer research (sound familiar) and has made an offer that’s strikingly familiar to me:
“As you can see I don’t have much on the top of my head to shave, so I have decided to shave that which is most important to me, my Magnum, the mustache that has been with me from the start. Literally, I was born with it. I have shaved it twice in my life, both times for elementary school pictures. I will shave it if I can get 500 bucks worth of donations, I know, its not alot, but I’m not that popular. The cause is a good one please help the smart people find a cure for this terrible thing called cancer.”
You can donate to Hutch here: Jay Hutchinson
A good start has been made, but if you can spare a few bucks, it’s greatly appreciated…
I’ve lost 7 friends to colon cancer, and I’d like to see Sam get a chance to actually grow up and have a life…
Thanks for the heads up. Done Sir.
Thank you Lady.
I went over and contributed from MSgt B’s site already. I, too, wish Sam a long, health life and many memories with dad.

Thank you very much!
I understand that the cadets took up a collection today at the end of second mess. We have a very bright and engaging corp of cadets! Good luck:)
Melody- Thank you for the update, and thanks to those young folks!!!
On Friday, April 12th the Massanutten Military Academy Corps of Cadets raised $500 (in four hours) for St. Baldrick’s Team Sammy. The deposit was made on April 15th. We’ve been trying to reach Jay Hutchinson through various messaging means and have not been able to. Hopefully he’ll know that MMA offers their full support of Sam! Non Nobis Solum!
MMA- Thank you I will pass this info to a friend who is in contact with Jay.
