UPDATE ON COUSIN JEFF BUTLER

I spoke to Cousin Jeff's mother, Shirley Butler, a couple of days ago. She told me Jeff came home from Iraq before Thanksgiving. He has had some surgery for a foot injury he sustained while serving in Iraq and is recovering well. Thank God he is home safely and is back with his family in time for the holidays.
