Vietnam Women’s Memorial Patch

Description

During the Vietnam era, approximately 11,000 American women were stationed in Vietnam during the conflict, with over 265,000 women serving in the military in total. Close to 90% were nurses, but others served as everything from clerks to intelligence officers to air traffic controllers— almost all of them were volunteers.

This patch displays three women: One kneeling, reflecting on the horrors of war; another comforting a dying soldier; and a third woman looking up towards the sky, waiting for a helicopter.

Today, the Vietnam Women’s Memorial Foundation serves to remember and celebrate the legacy of their valor and sacrifice. Your purchase helps support that effort.
