Dedicated to both Bill and Zoey

I was invited to ItsCalledHonesty's MEP dedicated to Bill Overbeck, the Vietnam veteran who gave up his life for his team mates. I think it's a sweet idea! Too bad I already seemed to have spent my fantastic Bill tribute in a past video.... I believe that one turned out so much better than this one. Oh well, it was still fun to make and it's a total honor to be invited to such a lovely MEP (:

Anyway, there seems to be a similar pattern in the Bill videos I've seen. Either 1) they flaunt how awesome Bill is with hard core rock music or 2) Show a softer side of him. So I thought I should twist the point of view from Bill to Zoey, as I am sure she has some very personal feelings dealing with his death, just to mix it up. Although, I am not saying all the other parts are expected to be unoriginal and boring. There are many gifted, creative, original video editors out there.
Zoey loves Bill and Bill obviously grew close to Zoey as well. After Bill sacrificed himself, Zoey was the most heartbroken out of the remaining group. She was not only in despair, but she was furious with him for being so selfless. She would rather they have died together to fight against the zombie outbreak instead to live on to paradise without him. As shown in "The Sacrifice," Zoey and Bill had very different ideals about the outbreak. This video shows her reflecting back on their time spent together and how she keeps thinking "it was such a wonderful life... why'd you have to say goodbye, Bill?"
