HR 1074 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Commending the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion for its contributions during World War II.

This resolution (HR 1074) commends the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-African American Women's Army Corps unit, for its service during World War II. The battalion, nicknamed the "Six Triple Eight," cleared massive mail backlogs for U.S. personnel in England and France in 1944-1945, working around the clock to resolve delays that impacted troop morale. The resolution recognizes their historical significance as the only WAC unit of color deployed overseas and their 2022 Congressional Gold Medal award, without creating new laws or affecting any policies.
