6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion; honor

SR 212 is a Senate resolution honoring the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (nicknamed the "Six Triple Eight"), an all-Black Women's Army Corps unit that processed millions of undelivered military mail overseas during WWII. The resolution recognizes their service in clearing massive postal backlogs (processing ~65,000 pieces daily) despite facing racial and gender discrimination, and acknowledges their lack of public recognition upon disbandment. Adopted by the Senate in February 2025, it formally extends gratitude for their contributions without creating new laws or affecting any individuals or policies.
