AN AMERICAN LIFE, AN AMERICAN HERO is the life story of John J. Butler, Jr. The book chronicles John growing up in a small town in Illinois farm country, volunteering to join the Marines at the height of the Vietnam War, being decorated for leadership and valor during the conflict, and then joining the FBI for an exceptional thirty-one-year career. While serving with the Bureau, John received multiple commendations, including the FBI's Medal of Valor for his actions and heroism. John was a Special Agent with the FBI, a member of the New Jersey Office SWAT team and a "Plank Holder" (a symbolic term for an individual who was a founding member of a new unit), and eventually one of the Team Leaders of the Hostage Rescue Team. Throughout his life, he was a loyal and loving husband to his wife Ann and a valued friend to countless people that he touched over the years. This book is about a special man that exemplified high moral character, leadership, courage, and a love of God and country.
