The Vietnam Womens Memorial is one of the three parts that make up the Vietnam Veterans Memorial; it is a statue consisting of two nurses (most women in the Vietnam War were nurses, making these nurses a symbol) and an injured man in one of the nurse's arms.
Women's organizations wanted it there. There was a push to have a canine (war dogs) memorial placed there also, it's estimated that over 5,000 US military working dogs served in the Vietnam War. 73 US servicemen (dog handlers) and 43 US war dogs were killed in Vietnam.
The Viet Vet Memorial Wall in Wash DC has over 58,000 Servicemens names on, plus 8 women nurses.
Womens rigths were a lot different, they would have been considered week and cowardly. They lived to serve the man in what ever way this may be.
