Dr. Jennifer London, a veteran spouse, commemorates the return of the Vietnam POWs 50 years ago at the Coronado Historical Association.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, April 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Dr. Jennifer London, a veteran spouse and thought leader, was a featured guest speaker commemorating the return of the Vietnam POWs 50 years ago at the Coronado Historical Association for the opening reception of the Open Doors exhibit.
 
Dr. London’s late husband, J. Phillip (Jack) London, author of Ever Vigilant, Leadership and Legacy by the Executive Chairman of CACI, purchased the exhibit in 2003 to display in CACI’s headquarters.
 
Open Doors; Vietnam POWs 30 Years Later is a photo and book tribute by Jamie Howren and Taylor Kiland to thirty of the longest-held group of POWs in our nation’s history. CACI recently donated the exhibit to the Coronado Historical Association, where it will be on display until September 2023 before going on tour.
 
At the time that Open Doors launched in 2003, Jack London who was then CEO of CACI, became an early advocate and supporter of the exhibit. He led the company in hosting a reception for Open Doors at the Decatur House in Washington DC, which was so well attended it was standing room only.
 
After acquiring the exhibit Jack put it on display in the Executive Suites of CACI. For over 15 years, he proudly walked visitors through the exhibit that honors the courage and the will of those who returned with honor.
 
In Jennifer London’s speech she quoted Jack London from the foreword he wrote in Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton in which he reflected on the Open Doors Exhibit: “I pass these profiles every day. Whether it is the men I personally know or those I know by reputation, I have the same thought as I look at their pictures: May we all be as resilient and resolute as they were in service to our country and in life.”
 
Jennifer London was also a guest on the USS Midway of the Honorable Everett Alverez, the longest serving Vietnam POW who was among the speakers in a moving tribute to all U.S. Military who served in Vietnam. During the event she was interviewed about the significance of 50th Anniversary tribute to Vietnam Veterans and she personally thanked many of the veterans for their service to our country.
