I served in Vietnam with the Marine Corps and I will never have the words to express my love, my respect and admiration for our Navy Corps men and the these women who are angels in our eyes. Because of them many pulled through against all odds. I still think of you all for all of my brothers. God bless you all sisters!

Thank you for saving our fathers. You did that. Mine is still kicking, he got out in December '69, and I know that if he wasn't in my life since '73, my life would've been a lot shorter. I hope at least one of you reads this. Thank you; I love you. Thank you.

Your mom is a true hero. Read books about army nurses serving in war. She was in the middle of it,sometimes behind enemy lines.

Wilma Vaught was promoted to Brigadier General. After retirement, she founded the Military Women’s Memorial which opened in 1997 at Arlington. It is the only major memorial to all US women who have served this country. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2022.

[@romanceenthusiasm7972]

These are some incredible women

[@ErinHopes]

Heroes. Absolute heroes. And they are not “women” veterans, they’re veterans. Period. America has denigrated and disregarded their service for a very long time, it’s time to educate all future generations to STOP thinking that only men serve and sacrifice in wars.

[@Cab520]

You are so right. The disrespect and denigration we were subject to is a disgrace. We worked harder and longer and out worked the men.

[@felixmadison5736]

A tip of my army helmet, and a 20 round salute from my M-16, to all you brave ladies who served when we really needed you. As a disabled veteran of the Vietnam Conflict, I'd like to give a shout out to the women who took care of me for 8 months (1969-70) from Vietnam, to Japan, and home to Fort Devens, Ma. Army Hospital. If not for you nurses I would not be here at 75 years of age typing this. THANK YOU!

A big "OOO-rah" to Suzanne & a thank you as well! My Sainted Mother was the acting command sergeant major of woman marines @MCAS Cherry Point from 1943 til 1945! She was forced to accept an honorable discharge when she married my father, and subsequently gave birth to me @Camp LeJeune, due to a lack of OBGYN facilities @Cherry Point! Anyhow, she was always PROUD of her status as a Marine, and I pass this shoutout, vicariously, to honor her memory, and as a heartfelt tribute to all women, everywhere, who wore this nation's uniform! MANY THANKS🥰👍❗️

[@Cab520]

The reason was not obgyn. Pregnancy was not allowed. If a woman got pregnant she was shunned and kicked out unceremoniously. Not nice at all. The woman also was not taken care of by any va or service . The baby never recognized. The male marine received no action. Most were date rape or out and out rape. Your mother was married to a marine so treated differently.

Well this is specifically a piece about women veterans so those in the Red Cross wouldn’t apply on this specific piece.

Hard issue; the Quakers sent food bags to the V.C. Hard issue.

Not Red Cross. Army Special Services..part of the Army. We received Vietnam Service medals and Women's Vietnam Memorial considers us veterans. A VERY gray area that slipped through the cracks

No disrespect to you; honorable, distinguished veterans but I have to ask because im a veteran too. When McNamara admitted that the Vietnam Invasion was a sham.., why did you remain silent when Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, knowing that was a sham too?

[@SandfordSmythe]

McNamara was a little more nuanced that that. I don't know what you mean by "sham". There were good and reasonable intents, but no easy answers.
