Lynn Mymala
Advocacy Ambassador
"As a long-time supporter and now Advocacy Ambassador, I am grateful for organizations like Legacies of War for advocating for the removal of UXO bombs in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam to help people in those areas. The legacy of war still endangers lives in these regions, especially children, and threatens the safety and development of entire communities. So many people still do not know about the Secret War, I sure didn't until I was in college! I believe knowing where you came from is essential to understanding yourself, your place in the community, and your responsibilities to future generations."
