The Vietnam Women's Memorial is a memorial dedicated to the women of the United States who served in the Vietnam War, most of whom were nurses. It serves as a reminder of the importance of women in the conflict. It depicts three uniformed women with a wounded soldier. It is part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and is located on National Mall in Washington DC, a short distance south of The Wall, north of the Reflecting Pool.
The model for the wounded male is named Michael Webb.
It was designed by Glenna Goodacre and dedicated on November 11,
1993. There is a scale model of the statue at the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial State Park in Angel Fire, New Mexico.
