Stodard Valley Cleanup Jeffrey Button
Sergeant First Class Jeffrey Button and wife Rhonda, of Fort Irwin, California, demonstrated how simple it was for their two boys (Jeffrey, 6, and Morgan, 11) to help keep California's remaining trails open for future generations to enjoy. Jeffrey and his family made several trips in their '97 Dodge Ram 1500. With each full load, the team then headed back to the dumpsters to exchange their findings for raffle tickets. A 5-inch Superlift suspension system and 37-inch Super Swamper SSRs helped Jeffrey's Ram handle the loads.
