C R England driver Brent Sanger and his wife, Carol, drove 2,000 miles to bring the exhibit to the University of Utah campus. Bent is a 13-year US Army veteran and a member of England’s Honored Veterans Fleet. The couple has driven with C R England for more than three years and are actively involved in its other veteran initiatives, such as “Wreaths across America,” where wreaths are placed nationwide at various individual headstones and monuments of those who have fallen serving the United States.
The 1,200-square-foot exhibit is designed to educate the public about the stories and sacrifices of American prisoners of war. The four main sections of the exhibit—Capture, Prison Life, Those Who Wait, and Freedom—contain artifacts as well as interactive elements such as audio-visual interviews with POWs.
Visitors will be able to explore the POW experience throughout the entire history of American military conflict, from the Civil War to modern conflicts.

Available for Freightliner and Western Star truck models spec’d with Detroit engines, Virtual Technician provides a technical snapshot of a vehicle’s performance before, during, and after an engine or aftertreatment system fault. It then provides an immediate preliminary diagnosis and categorization of the fault event. If the event is classified as severe, the Detroit Customer Support Center provides expert analysis and recommendations, as well as directions to nearby service locations with available parts, helping drivers and fleet managers make service decisions with real-time information.
