Much gratitude to the Florida chapters of Tuskegee Airmen Inc. who honored two women during this the 2nd year of Florida’s official Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of March. I got to share my mother’s story as one of 28 nurses who served in the Army Nurse Corps (ANC) at Tuskegee Army Air Field (TAAF)where the future Tuskegee Airmen were in pilot training during World War II. Former police chief and U.S. Congresswoman Val Demings shared the story of Callie Gentry who was a member of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) and served as a clerk and headquarters stenographer at Lockbourne Army Air Base (LAAB) in Ohio under Colonel Benjamin Davis, Jr. who was in the first graduating class of Tuskegee Airmen. A minted coin with the images of the two women were shared. That was a special moment for me as the daughter of the former 1st LT Louise Lomax. Both women are considered DOTAs, Documented Original Tuskegee Airmen. Airmen Airmen Nurses Army Nurses Army Air Field
