Captain Lawrence D. Getzfred, 57, was one of seven Nebraska brothers, five of whom joined the Navy.

According to his brother Mark, he enlisted in 1963, a year after graduating from St. Boniface High School in Elgin. After four years, he shifted into the reserves while working toward a mathematics degree at Santa Clara University in California. He
then rejoined the Navy for officer training.

After 38 years serving around the world, Getzfred was in his second stint at the Pentagon, working in the Navy Command Center, which was destroyed in Tuesday's terrorist attack.

Getzfred, the father of two, lived with his wife in Silver Spring.
