Diane Carlson Evans, a former Army nurse, worked tirelessly to support military women. She passed away from a rare cancer linked to Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide.
Evans is known for her dedication to having a monument built recognizing the contributions of women in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam Women’s Memorial, unveiled in 1993, stands as a testament to her commitment. She spearheaded this project for nearly ten years, engaging in speeches, fundraising, and grassroots efforts to counter opposition from bureaucrats and public skepticism.
Her efforts reflected her belief that acknowledging the service of women in the war was an important step toward honoring their contributions and sacrifices. Despite the challenges, Evans’s determination played a key role in bringing this recognition to fruition.
