"Six Triple Eight" tells the inspiring and incredible true story of the first and only battalion of courageous women of color to serve overseas during World War II. Facing racism, sexism, unfamiliar lands, and a war-torn country, they persevered, sorting over 17 million pieces of mail in just three months, reconnecting American soldiers with their families and loved ones back home. The motto that kept these women going every day was one they created themselves: "No Mail, Low Morale." The women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion did more than just facilitate mail delivery; they delivered hope. The story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion has been left out of history books and overlooked by the nation—until now. On March 14, 2022, President Joe Biden signed legislation awarding these women the nation's highest honor—the Congressional Gold Medal.
