It describes a war “winding down” while thousands still died."There were no women in Vietnam." When Mary returned home to the United States, many Americans, including Vietnam veterans, believed this to be true. In fact, the Department of Defense initially provided inaccurate numbers leaving the country unaware that some 10,000 American military women were stationed in Vietnam. Like Mary, most were nurses.This year marks the 50th anniversary since the last American helicopter lifted off the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon. “It never leaves you,” Mary said, referring to her Vietnam experience.Guests will learn more about the mission of P.E.O. and its impact on women's education and will be invited to participate in a moment of giving.
