HERSTORIES

*************************************

Black women have served in the military since the civil war.

We are proud to honor each and every one of our veterans

who served and who are serving today. If you look at any

of the old war movies, you barely see a female Soldier and

never see a Black Female Soldier. If so, they were probably

our wonderful nurses. But our Sister Soldiers served in all

areas.

IT IS TIME THAT WE TELL THEIR STORIES AND

GIVE HONOR TO OUR LADIES WHO SERVED.

So join us & tell your story

Help us find our ladies! Help us honor those before us.

(WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Gulf Veterans). Let's give them

praise by telling their stories. We are also proud to tell the

stories of these ladies, but we need your help.

We need every Black Military Women

to tell HER Story the way they would like it told

and the best way to do that is to

"Tell It Yourself".

AGAIN JOIN US!!!

THE "MOTHER" OF NABMW DIES AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 87

WWII VETERAN

PFC GLADYS SCHUSTER CARTER

WORLD WAR II VETERAN GLADYS SCHUSTER CARTER lost her battle against pancreatic cancer on July 2, 2009 at her home in Chesapeake, Virginia.

The National Association of Black Military Women (NABMW) is

here today mainly because of PFC GLADYS SCHUSTER CARTER,

WWII, WAAC/WAC Veteran. For the past 15 years, it has been

the heart and soul of her existance and efforts in getting the

organization up and running. But most important Mrs Carter

wanted to make sure the histories and heritage of Black Military

Women be told to the world. Mrs Gladys S. Carter was the

Chairperson of the WAAC/WIS/Women in the Military 1996

sanctioned "NABMW Organizational Structure Committee". Her

tasked was to develop a structure and operating forum under

which the organization would function. And she did just that.

"IN HER LIFE TIME"

(Look for a special tribute to WWII Mrs Gladys

Schuster Carter soon in our Memorial Section)
