  1. The Women’s Vietnam Memorial

  2. Quotes from when people came to the memorial "I couldn't afford to come here, but I just had to,'' said Sue Rowe, of Phoenix, who in 1969 and 1970 served at Pleiku in the 71st Army Evacuation Hospital. "I'm determined to cure myself today, to meet these women again, to come full circle and bring things to a close.'' "I felt the women's monument should be closer to the Wall,'' said Davis, 45, "because these women were the last people those guys saw or talked to before they died.''

  3. What We Need to Remember . . . "Women are warriors the same as men are warriors,and what this country owes them, if 'owe' is the word,is the same as we give any warrior. And that every time we sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" ... and we really get off on 'the rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag is still there' - that there are soldiers, both men and women, that have given that assurance, and you 'owe' for that assurance.   And if you don't want to pay it, don't sing the song."    ~ Liz Allen, RVN, 67-68

  4. Women volunteers Courageously gave their lives Aiding our nation
