Description
Color photograph detailing two figures from the Vietnam Women's Memorial by sculptor Glenna Goodacre. The photograph captures the look of concern and empathy on the face of a nurse cradling the body of a wounded male soldier who eyes are covered with a bandage. A spray of red, white, and yellow roses is laid on the soldier's chest. The Vietnam Women's Memorial was dedicated on Veteran's Day, 1993. The bronze is a tribute to the 265,000 women who served during the Vietnam era. Lettering in the lower right corner reads: "La VN Rose. Beth Parks. 2003." Back matter: Beth Parks photo, 2003.
