Vietnam Women's Memorial
Description
An account of the resource
The Vietnam Women's Memorial opened in 1993 as the first monument on the National Mall dedicated to women's military service. The <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/110">memorial project began in 1984</a> to honor more than 7,500 American women Vietnam veterans. The <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/87">memorial</a> features 3 uniformed female nurses caring for a wounded male soldier. Each nurse is named for a virtue: Charity tends to the soldier, Faith prays for him, and Hope looks upwards for inspiration. The memorial reminds visitors that women have always served in times of war.
