Allie Soisouvanh Price
Advocacy Ambassador
​
"I am honored to be an Advocacy Ambassador with Legacies of War. So many people do not know about the Secret War and how it continues to affect my parents' home country of Laos to this day. I believe that it is my duty to educate others about what happened in Southeast Asia during both the Vietnam War and Secret War. I am grateful for the work that Legacies of War continues to do to raise awareness about the unexploded ordnance in Southeast Asia."​​
