Family
Craig Button's father, Richard Button, was a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. His mother, Joan Button, was a devoted Jehovah's Witness. According to a letter written by Craig, she raised him "to think that joining the military is wrong." She did not allow Craig to wear his college AFROTC uniform at home. Craig's half-sister, Susane Button, reported that his mother had wanted him to leave the military.
Hurlburt Field at Eglin Air Force Base (home of the Air Force Special Operations Command) is named after Craig Button's uncle, Donald Wilson Hurlburt, who was a B-17 pilot in World War II.
