about
LCpl Janos V. Lutz Live To Tell Foundation
Founded in South Florida, the LCpl Janos V. Lutz Live To Tell Foundation was created to address Veteran suicide and Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD).
Today, our programs—especially the Lutz Buddy Up Social Clubs—are recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense as vital resources for peer support, community connection, and mental health.
About – Lutz’s Story
Lutz’s Legacy
LCpl Janos “Johnny” V. Lutz honorably served as a USMC Assaultman in Iraq and Afghanistan. After returning home, he battled PTSD and TBI and tragically lost his life due to dangerous prescriptions and inadequate care.
His story is not unique. Too many Veterans and First Responders face similar struggles. Through the Live To Tell Foundation, we fight for change, raise awareness, and provide real-life solutions.
