Description

The 1994 Women in Military Service Memorial Silver Dollar was issued for the construction of a new memorial complex for women in military service. This was one of three programs issued for military veteran themed memorials. The other programs were for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Prisoner of War Memorial.

The Women In Military Service For America Memorial, also known as Military Women's Memorial, is a memorial established by the U.S. federal government which honors women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The memorial is located at the western end of Memorial Avenue at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States. The memorial is notable for its successful mixing of Neoclassical and Modern architecture.
