LTC (Retired) CHARITY ADAMS-EARLEY DIES

THE "MOTHER" OF NABMW DIES AT THE

YOUNG AGE OF 87

IN MEMORY OF.....

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. Her eldest son Oscar (Tank) Carter, Jr and

her youngest sister "Chickie" was at her bedside as she fell asleep crossing over to join her late husband Oscar (Tank) Carter, Sr and youngest son Charles at the gates of heaven.

Mrs. Carter lead a full life up to the last two week of her life where she met with many of her friends and gave orders to her sister soldiers for things to be done --(You have to know Mrs Carter to know what that meant). I visited with Mrs Carter two weeks befor she pasted. Although she was a perky as usual and held long conversations with us girls, She told me she was ready to go and be with her husband "Tank" and youngest son Charles. She was happy and she had no regrets.

We call Gladys "THE MOTHER" of The National Association of Black Military Women (NABMW). The NABMW would not be here today if it was not for her passion for the existance of our organization. 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.

WE ONLY WISH THAT WE CAN TRAVEL IN HER FOOT STEPS. IMAGINE WHAT SHE HAS EXPERIENCED .........

"IN HER LIFE TIME"

(Look for a special tribute to WWII Mrs Gladys

Schuster Carter soon in our Memorial Section)
