Vietnam Women's Memorial
On the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Admission: Free


On the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is the first memorial placed in the nation's capital honoring women's military service. This emotional sculpture depicts three women, one caring for a soldier. The monument was designed by Glenna Goodacre, and was unveiled on Veterans Day, November 11, 1993. This monument is the culmination of a ten year grass roots effort honoring the 265.500 American women who served around the world during the Vietnam war.
