The Berea-Richmond area is home to Eastern Kentucky University, the historic Boone Tavern - and some of the most deadly materials on earth.
The Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond stores more than 500 tons of chemical weapons - enough to kill millions of Americans.
The safe disposal of these chemicals is of paramount importance to Kentucky, our country, and the world.
For more than two decades, Craig Williams has been working to ensure that these chemical weapons are destroyed safely - so that they can neither harm our neighbors, nor fall into the hands of our enemies.
His tireless dedication to this cause makes Craig
a true Kentucky hero.
