“[On Aug. 16], while on a mission in Afghanistan, Aaron Butler was killed by enemy forces.
Our hearts are broken. We are devastated. Our prayers and support are sent to the Butler family at this sad time.
We will remember Aaron as a man that gave his life so that we may continue to live in the land of the free. His selfless service will not go unremembered or unthanked because we will remember and show gratitude to his family.
We also send our prayers to the other members of Aaron’s unit that were wounded during the mission and wish them a speedy recovery.
May we never take our freedoms for granted or let a day go by without showing gratitude to the men and women who fight for our country.”
