Werner Enterprises Honors Fallen Officers with Horses of Honor Omaha Sponsorship

OMAHA, Neb.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As a proud supporter of the Omaha community, Werner
Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics
provider, is pleased to announce its sponsorship of Horses
of Honor Omaha, a public art exhibition in Turner Park benefiting
the Omaha Police Foundation.

The exhibit, featuring eight life-size horse statues each honoring the
life of a fallen hero of the Omaha Police Department and individually
designed by an Omaha area artist, was unveiled today in a ceremony at
Turner Park. Werner is sponsoring fallen officer James “Jimmy” Wilson
who was slain during a traffic stop on Aug. 20, 1995. Wilson’s art
teacher Paul Hundtoft painted Werner’s statue and Werner Maintenance
associates Brian Forbes, special projects manager, and Ron Bryant, body
mechanic, applied the final clear coat.

community and pay tribute to the life of Officer Jimmy Wilson,” said
President and CEO Derek Leathers. “We are thankful for all of the men
and women of the Omaha Police Department who serve to prevent crime,
save lives and make Omaha a safer city.”

A tribute concert will be held Saturday May 21 in Turner Park at Midtown
Crossing. The project will be displayed for a year before the horse
statues are sold in spring of 2017 with the proceeds benefitting the
Omaha Police Foundation.
