The Vietnam Women's Memorial completed the circle of healing at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The names of the eight military women who died in Vietnam are inscribed on the Wall, but the statue of the Three Servicemen did not reflect the women who served. Planted around the statue's plaza are 8 trees to commemorate each of the women who died in Vietnam. The Memorial was dedicated in 1993, as part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The Memorial is open all day, every day.
