However, two months after joining his entire family changed their last name to Lacey. This recorded in a newspaper article but the Navy never changed the records. The last name Lutz was erased and replaced with Lacey. All the rest of the medal’s info is officially impressed with initials, rank and unit. The group includes his son Ian Lacey’s medals.
