The Vietnam Women’s Memorial was dedicated in 1993 to honor the more than 250,000 women who served in the military during the Vietnam War and the approximately 11,000 who volunteered to serve in Vietnam. Fulfilling many roles, women were nurses, air traffic controllers, communication specialists, and intelligence officers.

An addition to the original design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the sculpture by Texas artist Glenna Goodacre depicts three women around a fallen soldier. Eight yellowwood trees surround the sculpture in honor of the eight servicewomen who gave their lives in Vietnam. Those names are among the more than 58,000 names on the long black memorial wall nearby.
