Valerie Williams gets her face painted by Eva Wheeldon, owner and lead artist with Cincinnati Face Painters during the Survivors Outreach Riverboat cruise June 13, 2021. The Williams family lost their father and husband, Army Staff Sgt. Wesley Williams while he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. About 300 friends and family members from five states enjoyed the cruise up the river along with a meal, music and fun all hosted by Northern Kentucky’s B&B Riverboats. The day is designed to recognize the surviving family members of military service members who have given their lives in defense of our nation.
