August 8, 2016 By Thad Forester

Bill and Evonne Williams have created a powerful memorial for fallen heroes since 9/11.  Its legacy will be that these men and women will never be forgotten and that their names will be remembered and spoken.  Their original exhibit has traveled around the state of Nebraska every week since 2011.

In cooperation with Bellevue University, their exhibit has traveled to and represented 18 states.  Soon, they will have all 50 states represented and begin a national tour.

He also shares his involvement with flying large numbers of WWII and Vietnam vets to DC on Honor Flights.  And then Gold Star wives and children honored at a Nebraska football game last fall.  Although Bill and his wife never served in the military, their four sons did.  They have incredible support and continue to help Gold Star families around the country heal.

Melanie got into the publishing business after sharing copies of her journal to help people deal with grief and hardship.  This was because she documented her trial of losing her seven-month old baby girl Brynn to SIDS.  Seeing the hope it gave so many, she turned these writings into a book called “The Triumph Book”, which is real stories of people overcoming tremendous trials and finding purpose in life.

Later, she wrote and published “The Triumph Book: HEROES” which consist of real life stories from our veterans.  She learned and shares the struggles many of our veterans endure and fight each day.

Her stories are real and powerful.  Listen and feel her passion for serving our guardians of freedom.  She encourages us to serve others to overcome tragedy.
