“Remembering Our Fallen,” which honors Georgians who have died in war zones since 9/11, on display in Center Court Through January

(SAVANNAH, GA) The Savannah Mall will unveil “Remembering Our Fallen,” a 50-foot exhibit commemorating fallen soldiers, on Nov. 23 at noon in the Center Court. The traveling exhibit, which pays tribute to U.S. troops from Georgia who have died as a result of wounds suffered in war zones since 9/11, will be on display in the Center court through January 5, 2014.

“We are deeply honored to present ‘Remembering Our Fallen’ to our community,” said Savannah Mall General Manager Phil McConnell. “During this time of year when families and friends come together to celebrate the holidays, the Savannah Mall would like to take a moment to pause and honor our fellow Georgians who have given their lives protecting our country. We hope the community will visit the exhibit and take part in this very special and moving tribute.”

“Remembering Our Fallen” was the brainchild of Bill and Evonne Williams, residents of Omaha, Neb., whose four sons have served in the U.S. military. Through their organization Patriotic Productions and with educational sponsorship from Bellevue University, the Williams have created 11 Remembering Our Fallen exhibits for states including Georgia, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, North Dakota, Kansas, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Texas.

Each exhibit includes formal military photos, along with favorite personal photos of the fallen soldiers, which have been provided by family members. The exhibits are individually crafted for each state and travel from venue to venue within that state. The Williams plan to eventually create exhibits for all 50 states.

“Our mission is that these men and women not be forgotten. Having it at the Savannah Mall will give so many people the opportunity to pay their respects to these men and women who served their country and made the ultimate sacrifice,” said Bill Williams.
