Paper Summary:

This paper describes the numerous positions, both civilian and military, held by American women serving in the Vietnam War and the heroism with which they fulfilled those duties. The paper also discusses the way female Vietnam veterans were often treated by the American public when they returned from the war and the awards and medals they received for their service.

From the Paper:

"Women, military as well as civilian, volunteered to go to Vietnam for a variety of reasons. Some went out of a sense of duty, to be patriotic; some wanted to help the people they saw on the television news every night. Some went seeking adventure, a purpose, a cause. In his inaugural address, President John F. Kennedy spoke of saving the United States from communism, and many women believed they could make a difference in the battle. Whatever their reasons for going, American women were active in the war in Vietnam."
