The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion
The #SixTripleEight documentary tells the story of the only all-black female Women’s Army Corps (WACs) battalion to serve overseas during WWII. These courageous women were inducted in the Army Women’s Foundation in 2016.
Their nickname was “Six-Triple Eight” and their motto was “No Mail, Low Morale.” The unit served at home and in Europe where they sorted and routed mail for millions of American service members and civilians. By dividing their work in shifts that ran 365 days a week, the women processed an average of 65,000 pieces of mail per shift.
The American Valor 2019: 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, as told by Tom Brokaw & Terry Crews is a Salute to our Unsung Heroes.
