Wanda Sartain

Wanda Sartain began her military service at an early age. She joined the Job Corps in 1966 to 1967, and soon after, enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1968. 

Wanda served honorably until 1971, achieving the rank of E-5, Second-Class Petty Officer.

In 1971, she married fellow Navy veteran James Perry Sartain, Jr. Together, they built a loving family, raising five children, four of whom proudly followed in their parents’ footsteps to serve in the military.

While raising her family, Wanda attended Community Colleges, earning three Associate of Arts degrees, exemplifying her dedication to education and personal growth.

Wanda worked in the transportation industry for over 30 years, driving school and charter buses. Her passion for mentoring youth also led to over two decades of service with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, where she worked with pre-teens and teenagers ages 11 to 18, alongside fellow adult volunteers.



She and her husband, Perry, restored the mini USS Arizona Battleship model, used in the movie Tora, Tora, Tora. She continues to support the USS Arizona memorial to this day and believes in preserving our nation’s history.
