(15,648 posts)I also made sure they were aware of the stain on the family tree. I toured the Pentagon in 2005 with a high school group the young soldier guiding the tour pointed out the wall of Congressional Medal of Honor winners I asked her if she knew the story of Butler she did not. I told her Butler is well worth reading about and he directly defended the Constitution as part of his oath without details. We got to see the memorial where the reconstructed door stands where a plane penetrated the Pentagon. Before we gave up our phones I showed her the picture of the door where the plane is supposed to have entered and the wall collapsed she had never seen those pictures. An amazing crash with minimal debris no wings outside the door. When she came to the Pentagon she told us she got to tour Rumsfelds' office where he keeps metal from the crashed plane. A very enlightening day and yes Butler is probably the greatest hero of the 20th century, hope some more come along of his stature in the 21st century.
