A proud mother and grandmother, Brenda understands firsthand the importance of passing stories from one generation to the next. That understanding fuels her unwavering commitment to honoring the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, including her mother, whose World War II service inspired Brenda to become a devoted ambassador for this historic unit.

Connection to the 6888th
What inspired you to become involved in the 6888th Stamp Project?
My inspiration comes directly from my mother, who was a member of this amazing battalion. Knowing her story—and the sacrifices she and her Sisters In Arms made—compelled me to ensure their service is properly recognized and remembered.
“I was inspired to become involved with the 6888th Stamp Project because my mother was a member of this amazing battalion.”
What are you currently focused on as an ambassador for the 6888th?
I am currently focused on getting the word out about the future 6888th Forever Stamp. This stamp represents far more than postage—it is a lasting tribute to the resilience, excellence, and unity demonstrated by these women during World War II.

Role and Contributions
Why is it important for you to continue telling the story of the 6888th?
These women served their country during a time when their contributions were often overlooked or erased from the historical narrative. Continuing to tell their stories ensures that their courage, commitment, and impact are never forgotten.
“Their legacy deserves to live on—not just in history books, but in the hearts of future generations.”
Can you share a milestone you are especially proud of?
I am deeply proud to have completed my book,
Echoes of A Little Brown Soldier Girl: A Daughter’s Journey Through History,
which chronicles my mother’s remarkable journey alongside the collective history of her Sisters In Arms. The book is both a personal tribute and a powerful act of preservation.
