David Begnaud tells how one woman's scroll through social media helped reveal the courageous story of her 102-year-old grandmother, who was one of the last surviving members of an all-female and all-Black segregated World War II unit.

My grandfather was born in the same year as Mrs. Garcia. He, too, fought in WW2 and never talked about it much. He was Black American, and the small stories he told was heartbreaking. Black soldiers were not treated very well in the military. Then he fought in Japan only to return to the segregated. He didn’t get voting rights until well in his 50s. Think about that! And for those who say the Confederate flag is part of their heritage. It’s part of mine too in many ways. My grandfather, along with surviving Black veterans, would March at the state capital on MLK day to remove the that flag from the capital building. All those old men died never seeing that flag removed. I lived to see it, though. My grandfather is my hero. He loved everyone regardless if they loved him back.

A movie based on the story of Mrs GRcia and her fellow “Medcs” as well as those who joined just joined to serve their nation. Whether sorting mail or care for the wounded, they volunteered to help and serve. Thanks for this beautiful story. At 102 years of age, grandma is still a bright and alert star. Salud!

My grandfather was like Mrs. Garcia, viewed as LESS THAN in the United States SEGREGATED ARMY. He was treated better by the German POWs he was guarding. The Europeans would ask to see his "monkey tail, hooved feet." Something they were told he had by white American soldiers. So no we shouldn't be grateful, for having our Elders disrespected while fighting for the freedoms of others under their country's flag, while viewed less than human by their OWN country.

My mom Alberta Viola Manson Allen was also trained as a mail sorter for World War two. She has pass away at the age of 79 years old, now as of 2004. But I would love to know more of my moms military past?
