Preserving the past, a Sacramento group is collecting stories belonging to the Black men and women who’ve served our nation.

The group is on a mission to make sure their service will never be forgotten.

Cynthia Gatlin is a proud veteran.

“Everybody that knows me knows that I was in the United States Air Force,” she said.

Though, she didn’t readily say so when she was younger. Gatlin served at the height of the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War.

This Natomas woman worked as a medic in the U.S. and later in Thailand. When she returned home, she faced backlash like her male counterparts.
