Jim and Cindy Butler have gone to lengths to find out the details of how their son was killed in Iraq on April 1, 2003. Their son, Jacob Butler, was killed in Samawah, Iraq and was the first soldier killed from Kansas.
The details of Jacob's death were never clear to the Butler's so they have reached out to anyone who could get them answers. Jim has worked to flush out his son's story by talking to the men that were part of his unit and even travelled to Iraq to visit the spot of his son's death.
