  Remembering Martin Andrew Butt 1947-1969
July 13, 2024
 

My younger brother by three years, Martin, joined the Marines and survived Vietnam in 1966-67 with a purple heart but suffered a fatal automobile accident less than two years after coming home. He would have been 77 years old tomorrow, Bastille Day, but he is, instead, 22 years old forever. See www.tombutt.com/pdf/martin andrew butt.pdf.



People who wanted to contribute to some worthy cause in his memory were directed to the Boy Scout Camp Orr on the Buffalo National River in the Arkansas Ozarks. The contributed funds were ultimately used to build a cabin for the camp director. Although the cabin was completed and dedicated in 1970, there was never a plaque mounted. This year, my brother, Jack, and I have ordered the plaque shown below and hope to mount it this fall.
