Historical Insight:

The Vietnam War (1955-1975) remains one of the most emotionally charged conflicts in American history. This commemorative coin was authorized not only to honor those who served, but also to acknowledge the complex legacy and long-overdue recognition of Vietnam veterans. Proceeds helped fund the Vietnam Women's Memorial, dedicated in 1993 to the more than 265,000 women who served, primarily as nurses.
