"the sky-scanning person is also female; presumably another nurse looking for the desperately needed Dust-off"

Which is all absolute horsehockey: there were no women medics in the field in Vietnam. That sculpture is total fantasy for the women's groups.

All of the truly heroic "looking for a dustoff/medevac" was done by medics and corpsmen with the combat forces.

Damn thing has irritated me since it was put there.

Yes. Well executed sculpture, depicting a complete work of fiction.

Welcome home, BTW. The way some folks treated returning veterans in that era was beneath contempt.
