Which memorial in Washington, D.C., honors American servicewomen who served in the Vietnam War?

The Vietnam Women’s Memorial honors American servicewomen who served in the Vietnam War.

The memorial is located near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Its bronze sculpture shows three uniformed women caring for a wounded soldier, representing the medical and humanitarian roles performed by many women during the conflict.

It was dedicated on November 11, 1993, after years of advocacy to ensure that women’s service received visible recognition alongside the better-known Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall. The monument honors women who served in the Vietnam era, including nurses and other military personnel.

The memorial is sometimes confused with the Military Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, which honors women’s military service across U.S. history. The Vietnam Women’s Memorial is specifically connected to the Vietnam War and its women veterans.
