League of Wives – The Untold Story
December 7, 2022 - December 7, 2029

Go inside the true story of a fierce band of impassioned wives who took on the US Government to bring their husbands home from the jungles of Vietnam. Author Heath Hardage Lee tells the story of these remarkable women for the first time in The League of Wives, drawing on dozens of first-person interviews, diaries, letters and oral histories and government and archival records to tell this story of courage, resilience, and rescue. Hear how they relentlessly lobbied government leaders, conducted savvy media campaigns, met reluctantly with antiwar activists, and attempted to negotiate with the North Vietnamese and even how they helped to code secret letters to their imprisoned husbands.
Register today and get an exclusive look into the extraordinary courage and resilience demonstrated by these remarkable women.

Looking back at Chuck and Donna Burke's apartment at Covenant Living of Northbrook where you could find a lifetime of speed skating memorabilia. Chuck competed in the 1952 and 1956 Winter Olympics (his USA team coat still fits!), while Donna was a North American champion in her own right. 🏅
Married 65 years and both former Chicago-area coaches, the two remain tied to the sport they love, still cheering on Team USA every time the Winter Olympics roll around.
A gold-medal love story, on and off the ice. 💙
