Commending the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion for its contributions during World War II.
HR 1086 is a Texas House resolution commending the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (known as the "Six Triple Eight"), an all-African American Women's Army Corps unit that served in Europe during World War II. The resolution honors their critical role in clearing a massive backlog of mail for U.S. troops, government personnel, and Red Cross workers in England and France - completing a six-month task in just three months despite facing racism and sexism. It follows the battalion's 2022 Congressional Gold Medal award and recent recognition, including a Netflix film released in December 2024.
