SUMMARY:Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\nThe 6th annual Aaron Butler Memorial Purple Heart Run (ABMPHR) will be held on Saturday\, August 17th\, 2024 at the Eagle Bike Park and surrounding trail system. We are getting back to where it all started in 2019\, including our original location in the heart of the Treasure Valley! \nSign up\, show up\, and embrace the suck in the 5K\, 10K\, or signature Unknown Distance Run (we guarantee no less than 400M and no more than 50K\, you won’t know the final distance until your finish.) We take great pride in delivering an awesome trail running experience\, but this isn’t a Boston Qualifier\, there is no chip-timing\, and no one cares if you walk the course. This event is about community and sacrifice\, the routes are lined with pictures and stories of our brothers and sisters who gave their lives in the service of our Nation. Aaron’s name is on the event\, but our event honors ALL of the Fallen. Don’t forget about our 16-and-under Youth 5K\, we care deeply about youth leadership development and believe that it begins with exposure to service and sacrifice. \nIt’s more than a run\, it’s an emotional and educational experience. \nNo posers\, no egos. If you’re down to clown with authentic veterans\, first-responders\, and patriots who celebrate the lives and legacies of those who gave all\, this event is for you. Registration gets you access to the run\, music\, food\, guest speakers\, beer\, non-alcoholic beverages (thanks a lot Dan)\, sweet raffle and auction items\, and lots to do for kids. We sweat\, we laugh\, we cry (just to water our beards)\, and we support each other. Join us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlace\nEagle Bike Park\nOld Horseshoe Bend Rd\nEagle\, ID US 83714\n\n\n\n\nMore Than a Race\n\nThis is a celebration of all US servicemembers who have given their lives or parts of themselves physically in combat operations around the globe. The after party promises to be epic. We will have local beer\, music\, food\, local coffee\, and lots to do for kids. All race proceeds will go to the Aaron Butler Memorial Foundation (a 501C3 nonprofit). This event was created by local Purple Heart recipients\, and there will be an opportunity for all participants and supporters to meet and learn from those men and women who have been wounded in combat. The race courses will be lined with pictures and stories about Purple Heart Recipients who gave their lives in the Global War on Terror (since 9/11/2001). Bring out your families\, let your children meet and absorb the words of Gold Star families (who have lost loved ones in combat)\, Vietnam War Purple Heart Recipients\, and Purple Heart Recipients from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are among us every day\, this in a unique opportunity for all of us to see and hear from local community members who have given more than most for our Nation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRace Contact Info\nIf you have any questions about this race\, please contact the race director at dan@aaronbutlermemorialfoundation.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTAFF SERGEANT AARON BUTLER\n  \nAaron was born in Monticello\, UT. He was the seventh of eight children born to Randy and Laura Butler. He has one sister – Shannon – whom he adores\, and six brothers – Shane\, Quinn\, Nathan\, Andy\, Chad and Adam – who have been his companions through life. \nFrom the beginning\, Aaron has been a very determined\, adventurous soul. As a young child\, his bright blue eyes were always looking for mischief\, which he usually found. \nHe was so full of life\, happiness and endless energy! He loved the outdoor adventures best and could usually be found with a stick or a critter in his hands! He participated in and enjoyed the Boy Scouts of America\, eventually earning the rank of Eagle Scout. \nThroughout high school he excelled in music\, football and his main focus\, wrestling. He set a specific goal to become a four-time state wrestling champion. \nThrough hard work and extraordinary determination\, he realized his goal\, becoming the first ever in Monticello High School history to achieve this mark and just the 17th wrestler in Utah State history. \nIn 2009\, Aaron volunteered himself for full-time service as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was called to labor in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission in Africa. \nFor two years\, he worked tirelessly\, teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Ghanaian people. He served them with a great love and compassion. \nHe aided them in building and improving homes\, wells and made numerous additional efforts in their behalf. \nHis dedicated service to others in this way highlights a distinct trait in his personality and soul. He cared about his fellowman\, their safety and wellbeing. He served others with the love of Jesus Christ. \nFrom a very young age\, Aaron became interested in the United States Military. As a first grader\, he announced to his family that he would be a soldier when he grew up. \nFrom that time on he never once wavered in that resolve. On April 10\, 2008\, while still in high school\, he enlisted in the Utah Army National Guard\, where he laid the building blocks of his military career. \nIn 2014\, he began the grueling Special Forces Training program. On January 14\, 2016 he graduated Special Forces Training and donned the Green Beret. He is one of four soldiers to graduate with honors. \nSince that day\, he has been decorated with additional combat awards. \nAaron died on August 16\, 2017 at the age of 27 in Nangarhar Province\, Afghanistan\, of injuries suffered from an improvised explosive device while clearing a booby-trapped building. \nAaron was a natural-born leader. He was determined to become an elite soldier and always led from the front. He wanted to be the ‘tip of the spear’. \nHe led by example and swift action. He personified the Army’s values in everything he said and did. He was a strength and inspiration to all those around him and a joy to his family. \nAaron was absolutely fearless\, selfless\, courageous and relentless. In a life that was all too brief\, our dear son and brother made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. \nAaron is survived by his parents Randy and Laura Butler of Monticello; fiancé Alexandria Seagroves of Cedar Hills\, UT; siblings Shannon (Brad) Young of St. George\, UT\, Shane (Michelle) of American Fork\, UT\, Quinn (Leesa) of Pleasant Grove\, UT\, Nathan (Brooke) of Bluffdale\, UT\, Andy (Tori) of Saratoga Springs\, UT\, Chad of Bluffdale\, UT and Adam Butler of Heber City\, UT; grandparents Pat and Marva Butler of Monticello and Stan (Diane) Augustine of Kettle Falls\, WA; and 25 nieces and nephews.
