James “Jim” Copenhaver has passed. Veteran. Husband. Father. Grandfather. Patriot.
Shot twice at Butler on July 13, 2024 while standing with President Trump. One round in the tricep. One lodged next to his spine. He never fully recovered. He never stopped fighting.
Watch him tell it in his own words — the jumbotron, the sleeve ripped away, the second shot, and the quiet faith that a higher hand kept him alive that day.
And then look at what President Trump did.
Last night he posted a full tribute calling Jim a true American Patriot who stood for Freedom, Liberty, and Justice — and who kept FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT even after the bullets.
This morning he posted again:
“God bless American Patriot and Warrior, James Copenhaver, and his incredible family. May he rest in peace!!!”
That is a President who does not forget the men who bled next to him.
Pray for Marianne and the entire Copenhaver family.
God bless James Copenhaver.
Never forget Butler. 🙏🇺🇸
