RESOLUTION HONORING THE MEMBERS OF THE 6888TH CENTRAL POSTAL DIRECTORY BATTALION.

This House Joint Resolution honors the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, a World War II unit of 855 African-American and Latina women in the Women's Army Corps, for clearing military mail backlogs in Europe. The battalion processed an average of 65,000 parcels daily under difficult conditions, clearing a six-month backlog in three months and a three-year backlog in France, supporting troop morale through their motto "No mail, low morale." The Connecticut General Assembly passes this resolution to recognize the battalion's historic role as the only predominantly Black and Latina women's unit deployed to the European Theater during WWII, highlighting their contributions to breaking racial and gender barriers in the military.

What changed between versions

Committee Bill → VA Joint Favorable Substitute Resolution · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill underwent technical formatting changes as it moved from committee review to a substitute resolution version. The most substantive change is a word adjustment in line 8-9, changing 'exclusively composed' to 'predominantly composed' regarding the 6888th Battalion's racial composition, which slightly softens the historical claim. Other changes are purely formatting updates to headers, footers, and page numbering.
