DO YOU KNOW A WWII BLACK MILITARY WOMAN!!

IF NOT YOU SHOULD, WE SERVED TOO

Meet the late WII Veteran MRS ESSIE O'BRYANT WOODS 1942-1945, She served as a Staff Sergeant in the famous first all Black Female Battalion, 6888 Central Postal Battalion led by the famous MAJ Charity Adams-Ender(The first black military woman commissioned in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corp (WAAC).

IN MEMORY OF A TRUE TRAILBLAZER

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

Mrs Essie passed away on Christmas Day this year 2012. She was a few days short of turning 98. She served a one of the founders and mothers of the NABMW. She served on the Organization Structure Committee and was the first Chairperson of the NABMW North-Central Region. Mrs Essie believed in our motto "To Tell HERSTORY". We all will miss her and will certainly keep her vision alive by telling our stories.

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!!!
