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 MilitaryWomen 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". Hertasked was to develop a structure and operating forum under which the organization would function. And she did just that.
"IN HER LIFE TIME"
