RIP, SSG Aaron Butler… thank you for your service.
That’s been all over the news here in Utah.
Requiem In Pacem, and may the family know The Father’s peace and love.
An impressive rack on the uniform (indicating what a go-getter hard-charger he was).
Such a loss at all levels.
Father, brother, son, husband, future leader and mentor. Sometimes life just ain’t fair.
WORD.
De Oppreso Liber. Doesn’t get any better than that. You were taken from us too soon, Brother. See you in a while …
Too young, too soon gone. May the road rise to meet you, SSG Butler.
A Real Ranger, a Real Hero and a Real American.
