Today at the Bedford Public Library: Granite State Women in the Vietnam War!

Approximately 11,000 women served in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, and of those about 5,000 were on active duty in Vietnam itself. Barred from direct ground combat until 2013, military women at the time served in health care, communications, intelligence, administrative positions, and more. Many, like the protagonist of popular historical fiction novel "The Women," were nurses. They also served in civilian roles, such as the flight attendants who helped carry people, medical supplies, and ordinance into war zones.

Leah Dearborn, associate director of the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, will present on the myriad ways women from the Granite State contributed to and were impacted by the war in Vietnam.
