SR 89 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

A RESOLUTION honoring the members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion for its outstanding service to the United States during World War II.

This Senate resolution honors the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (known as "the Six Triple Eight"), an all-female African American unit in the Women's Army Corps that served overseas during World War II. The resolution recognizes their critical role in clearing a massive mail backlog for U.S. troops in Europe under challenging conditions, including racism and poor facilities, which boosted troop morale. It specifically commends the unit's service, acknowledges 18 Kentucky women who served in the battalion, and formally expresses gratitude for their contributions to military history, racial equality, and women's roles in the armed forces.
