Chief Warrant Officer 5, Julian Evans III, died tragically this past July at the prime of his life. You will hear of his amazing story as told by his wife, Josie Evans, and daughter, Te’Yanna Evans. Josie also walks us through her painful circumstance in which she endured 52 surgeries. Shortly after his death, Josie started the CW5 Julian A. Evans III Scholarship Foundation to honor Julian’s brilliant mind, big heart, and servant spirit who never met a stranger! Co-hosted by AUSA-Huntsville’s own, Col. John Kuenzli (ret), this is a gripping and emotional episode as we continue to celebrate CW5 Julian Evan’s legacy.
