No matter how many times we’re reminded, we tend to picture men in battle, even though a multitude of women have served on the front lines in many roles.
Last month, KRCB presented Ken Burns’ revealing history of the War in Vietnam. We also interviewed a number of veterans about their experiences. Today, we add one more veteran to that list. Kate O’Hare-Palmer is a nurse who served in Vietnam 50 years ago. She’s chair of the Women Veterans Committee of the Vietnam Veterans of America and has become a leader in fighting for the rights of women who served in the military. She talked with KRCB news director Steve Mencher.
We’ll hear from Kate O-Hare-Palmer in subsequent reports. Find more at krcb.org/Vietnam.
