Brandon Buttry was from Shenandoah, Iowa. He was killed in action last year at the young age of just 19. His friends Al and Carolyn Ruhde recently traveled from Iowa and visited our Town of the same name here in Virginia and purchased a brick for him to be displayed at our Veterans Park here in Shenandoah, Virginia. The brick will be displayed soon and I thought you may want to read the story of Brandon.
