EXHIBIT OPENING The League of Wives: Vietnam’s POW/MIA Allies and Advocates Saturday, March 24th “The League of Wives: Vietnam’s POW/MIA Allies & Advocates,” tells the story of the military wives who founded the organization that would later become the National League of POW/MIA Families. The exhibit will feature documents, artifacts, oral histories, multimedia, and regionally specific components. This important national story is extremely relevant to the Pikes Peak region, which has a long history of military service and sacrifice. Colorado Springs Vice-Mayor (and later Mayor) Larry Ochs worked closely with Helene Knapp, a local and national leader in the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, to advocate for and support the Vietnam-era POW/MIA families in Colorado Springs.
