Brandon Buttry

Pfc. Brandon L. Buttry, age 19, of Shenandoah, Iowa, died on November 5, 2012, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan.

Brandon was assigned to 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.

Brandon Buttry had enlisted in the Army after his 19th birthday in January, and was sent to Fort Benning, Georgia for boot camp. He was deployed in August and had recently earned his combat infantry badges. 

Jesus, pray for Brandon.  Pray
for the teenagers killed in war. 
Family and friends describe Brandon as a happy and well liked teenager. He liked the Philadelphia Eagles.  He went to his Baptist church regularly.

Friends stated that Brandon loved his country and loved the fact that he could serve his country.

Brandon is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his parents Don and Pam Buttry and 13 biological and adopted brothers and sisters.

Thank you for serving, Brandon. 

Pray for the 19 year olds who die in war.  Yesterday they were just boys. 

Let us pray that Brandon Buttry is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
