We were there looking for an aunt. There are ways you can look up people which was very helpful so we found her! Nice displays of women in military throughout US history. It's actually easy to find - right at the entrance to Arlington Cemetery.

I've been to DC many times and this time I walked down both sides of the mall and had the opportunity to see this memorial. I'm glad I saw it, it's not so large and easy to miss.
Be sure to stop by this memorial as this is easily overlooked when touring the cemetery. It also appears to be part of the front entrance to the cemetery and I was surprised that it was a stand alone memorial when the tram guide mentioned it during the tour. PROS: beautiful facade in front of the cemetery. CONS: easily overlooked.
This statue of three female nurses and a wounded soldier from the Vietnam War is very moving. The three nurses symbolize Hope, Faith and Charity.
The women in Military service for America memorial is a great start if your going to visit Arlington cemetery. Also a great place to take photos the grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. As with the rest of the cemetery.

The memorial outside is very impressive and commanding but inside it's a small,...

The one memorial dedicated to women ... and worth a trip even if you don't have a family member who was in the military. They have a wonderful, continuously changing display of what women have done that is inspiring and well done. A great bookstore/souvenir shop, lots of friendly faces. If you're lucky, you may see a retirement/promotion ceremony going...

It is a nice memorial and offers an decent little museum, but unless you're already there, it isn't worth the time. Regular parking is very far away, but I think there is parking for VIPs and special event attendees. The auditorium is big and pretty nice - decent place for a retirement ceremony etc..
Another really moving statue and one that is long overdue! I remember sending money to get this statue built. Woman have served in the Armed Services, often as nurses, since the country was established. High time this was finally built!
