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. |
