These veterans include Sergeant Andrew Butterworth, who lost his right leg while on patrol in Iraq in 2004. Sergeant Butterworth and his family will receive the keys to their new home on July 20.
You can support Sergeant Butterworth and his family this Saturday, June 29, by participating in ‘Volunteer Day’ where volunteers will help with the landscaping around their new home in Pea Ridge.
“The woman is ready to sit down and be stable and stay in one place for a while…. Get the kids involved in the community and find friends for them to hang out with, and just relax for a while,” Butterworth said.
Check-in for the event begins at 9:30 AM and lunch will be provided.
