Rationale:
The Vietnam Women's Memorial was established to "honor the women who served and also for the families who lost loved ones during the war . . . to let them know about the women who provided comfort, care, and a human touch for those who were suffering and dying" (Vietnam Women's Memorial Foundation, n.d.). Florence Nightingale brought respectability to the nursing profession, and her contributions allowed nurses to be viewed as noble, compassionate, moral, religious, dedicated, and self-sacrificing. The image of the guardian angel or angel of mercy arose in the latter part of the 19th century, largely from Ms. Nightingale's work. The monument "The Spirit of Nursing" stands in Arlington National Cemetery, honoring nurses who served in World War I—a time of progress in health care, particularly in the field of surgery and the use of anesthetic agents.
