NABMW REUNIONS
REUNION HISTORY
A group of women (our founders) who served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II, Korean and Vietnam Wars met in Hampton, Virginia in 1976. They such a wonderful time meeting new and old sister soldiers that they decided to locate and invite other former service women to a first formal reunion that was held in Dallas, Texas in 1978. The group was called "The Black WAAC, WAC, Women in Service". Ever since, the group has held Biennial reunions. To insure that all women in all services were invited to join it was decided at the 1974 Biennial reunion to have the group officially chartered. In 1997 group was chartered under the new name of "The National Association of Black Military Women (formerly the Black WAAC. WAC, Women in the Service)".
