Vietnam: In Their Own Words, Story Telling at the Vietnam Women’s Memorial is an educational program presented by the Vietnam Women’s Memorial Foundation. Today we combine the stories of those who served during the Vietnam era with the stories of those individuals serving in today’s armed conflicts. The lessons learned in the past of bravery, the desire for peace, courage, and sacrifice are being relearned every day.

The Vietnam Women’s Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring women who served during the Vietnam era. For additional information on the Memorial or its products and projects including other educational programs, Sister Search, or research on women who served during the Vietnam era, you are invited to visit the Foundation’s Web site at www.VietnamWomensMemorial.org.
