Tiger Force

Lonnie Butts was a superb medic who served with Tiger Force Recon at the time of his death. Being a medic with Tigers, was extremely dangerous, and we lost many medics over the years. I served with Tigers in 1968.
I am working with the Medical Museum at Ft Sam Houston to have Lonnie memorialized with a display in the museum. Family members should contact me at my email.
