July 2021 Veteran Spotlight

Vatleria Thomas was born in the historical area Montgomery, Alabama to Charlie and Juanita Thomas.  Proud alumni of George Washington Carver High School, where her passion was track and field. The honorarium single parent of two beautiful children. Served over 22 years in the United States Army from 1992-2015 as a Signal and Adjutant General Soldier. Has great spiritual ties to New Pleasant Valley A.M.E. Zion Church in Hope Hull, Alabama and Fellowship of Love Christian Center (FLCC) of El Paso, Texas.

Serving in the United States Army was one of her greatest accomplishments, where she interacted with people of all walks of life. From that Private straight out of Basis Training to the Staff with the Command Sergeant Major and the General. Being a Course Director at the best training facility 369 of Fort Jackson, where you teach/train/mentor soldiers for a career. The Warrior Transition Unit (WTU); where you take the wounded (physical or mental) and transform them back to life. Being a part of a winning team; The Mannheim Germany basketball team, where the challenge was always made editable. There was no greater feeling than being a Non-Commissioned Officer; where she led from the front taught/trained/mentored those to follow.  ARMY STRONG!!!
