Man remembers son killed in Iraq with pilgrimage to bridge
Wellsville sergeant’s father, Jim Butler, traveled to Iraq on a one man mission to honor Jake Butler who died in 2003 near As Samawa. He vowed to keep Jake’s memory alive, delivered two CDs at the bridge, and later met with U.S. officials while defending his belief in freedom and supporting troops.
