Today, we honor the fierce and fearless women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-Black, all-woman battalion to serve overseas during World War II.
Known as the “Six Triple Eight,” these 855 women faced racism, sexism, and the unimaginable pressures of war, yet they delivered. Literally. They processed millions of pieces of backlogged mail to keep soldiers connected to their families and hope alive on the front lines.
They served with grace, grit, and excellence at a time when their country didn’t fully see them, but we see them now. We honor their courage, their sisterhood, and their legacy that continues to inspire generations of Black women leading and breaking barriers today.
“No mail, low morale” wasn’t just a slogan, it was their mission. And they carried it out with unmatched pride.
