    RECRUITING  WAR VETERANS -
    Mr. Cappetto is seeking those in the Fargo area who have served in the military to interview for his ongoing film series.  Veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and Iraq are especially encouraged to participate in this historic project.  Survivors of the holocaust are also encouraged to participate.

    Mr. Cappetto's unique and compelling series of documentaries are educationally and historically important as America's generation of war veterans are dying everyday.  His documentaries are unusual in that the entire narrative is drawn from the memories and monologues of today's veterans.

    "Our young people today need to learn of the sacrifices that have gone before them so they can gain a better appreciation for all veterans and the freedoms that we share." (Larry Cappetto)

    Mr. Cappetto sees a great need to honor those who have served their country.  His film series has been featured on Public Television including the PBS family.  He has also appeared on the CBS Evening News, FOX Television and MSNBC.  Mr. Cappetto has also been featured on Canadian National Television.

    "Cappetto's search for those surviving veterans has been relentless..." In seven years he's
    interviewed almost 800 combat veterans, "...assembling one of the largest oral histories ever
    recorded of Americans at war." (Wyatt Andrews, CBS National News Correspondent).

William passed away on Monday, March 8, 2010 at the Hillsboro Medical Center Hospital at the age of 92.


 William "Bill" Albert Meyer was born on January 31, 1918 to Carl and Clara (Rust) Meyer at Hillsboro, ND.  He was baptized on February 24, 1918 at Immanuel Lutheran Church and was confirmed on July 26, 1931.  He was active in St. John Lutheran Church and served as an elder there for many years.  He attended school in Hillsboro until 8th grade when he started working on the family farm.


William married Evelyn Dickhoff on December 9, 1939 in Hillsboro.  William was a life-long farmer and even after retiring in 1984, he still maintained a passion and a love for farming.  Bill and Evie lived most of their lives on a farm before building a home in Hillsboro that was always open to family and to friends.


Above all, Bill was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.  He had an unwavering devotion to his family and to his faith.  He was a strong, proud man that was gentle, loving, and kind.  He always put his family first. 


William is survived by his daughter, Judy Buethner of Hillsboro; his grandchildren, Mark (Tanya) Buethner, Jodie (Steven) Soland, David (Alycia) Buethner, and Amy Buethner; and his great grandchildren, Jesse Fulgium, Alex Soland Hamre, Katlyn Buethner, Shauna Buethner, Emma Buethner, and Faith Hanson-Buethner.  Also surviving is one brother, Harold (Lee) Meyer; and sisters, Delores Pritchett, Olivia Euren, Barbara (Donald) Weng, Margaret (John) Goshinska, and many nephews, nieces, and cousins.


William was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Evelyn; his parents; and his son-in-law, Dennis Buethner.
