The South Vietnamese people witnessed approximately 10,000 American women serving "in-country" in support of their fight
with North Vietnam from 1962-1975. Again, the greatest majority were nurses (Army, Navy, and Air Force) who worked long hours
and endured much hardship in order to provide the best medical care possible to wounded GIs. Nurses also provided medical
assistance to the South Vietnamese people. WACs, Red Cross personnel, Army Special Services personnel, and variety of entertainers
and volunteer civilian medical personnel also served during this war.

Women served in Vietnam in many support staff assignments, in hospitals, crewed on medical evacuation flights, with MASH
Units, hospital ships, operations groups, information offices, service clubs, headquarters offices, and numerous other clerical,
medical, intelligence and personnel positions.
There were women officers and enisted women; there were youngsters in their
early twenties with barely two years in service and career women over forty.
Women suffered the same hardships as the
men in many cases and were often in the line of fire from rockets and mortars, particularly during the Tet offensive with
the Viet Cong attacks on Saigon.
