"This striking statue and memorial to the women who fought and provided support to our troops in Vietnam is an inspiring dedication to the 265,000 women, military and civilian, that served in support of the war during that time. The 8 trees surrounding the statue provide living memorials to the 8 servicewomen killed in action in that conflict. This was one of the first war memorials to women, and the only one on the mall."
"A beautiful sculpture to see at night. Lots of tributes left to these amazing women from other winnebago(typo, but I'm keeping it! ) *women who visited."
"The Vietnam Woman's Memorial is located just across the path from the main Vietnam Memorial Wall. Easily missed, it is tucked between a grove of trees just off a path near the memorial. It depicts nurses tending to a fallen soldier. It is incredibly simple and moving. The sculpture itself is extremely well done and quite beautiful. In my opinion, it's a little spot not to be overlooked. I stopped by there every time I'm down that end of the national mall."
"We didn't know this memorial existed prior to finding it while exploring around the reflecting pool. A nearby plaque explained the history behind this monument. Worth visiting and learning."
"This is a very strong memorial to the women that served in Vietnam which depicts three life size female nurses tending a wounded soldier. With the majority of women being nurses during the war but not all the women in Vietnam were from the military services the vast majority were civilians that volunteered. They served with various organizations that were there to support the various military services like the Red Cross, United Service Organizations, Catholic Relief Services and other humanitarian organizations and news correspondents. **** With very few statues depicting woman in history this is a change and should continue being something that there should be more of around the country."
