After graduation, Lu joined the military and was a paratrooper in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division during the Korean War from April 21, 1951, to April 11, 1954. During that time, he completed 16 jumps and marched in President Eisenhower’s inauguration parade in 1953. After his honorable discharge, Lu returned to Columbus and in 1954, married Martha Laska of Duncan, Nebraska. To this union, three children were born, Debora, Sharon, and Terry. After a number of years, this marriage dissolved. Lumir worked numerous jobs, including Loseke Welding & Repair, Becton Dickinson, Plugge Manufacturing, Tasty Toppings, and First National Bank.
