Update: Even though this episode has aired previously, I felt it was appropriate to replay this during Womens' History Month. As a entrepreneur and veteran I want to give flowers to these women who were so brave in entering a military that maybe felt there wasn't a place for them. However, these women showed how remarkable they were in saving the morale of WWII.
Since the airing of this episode the 6888 has received the twice denied the Congressional Gold Medal, will be remembered with a monument in their honor and there is even a movie produced by none other than Tyler Perry.
6888th battalion: US looks to honor 855 minority women who solved war time mail crisis
An all-ethnic, all female battalion that served in Birmingham, England during WWII is on the last leg of a long journey to receive the Congressional Gold Medal.
This battalion cleared a backlog of 1-2 years worth of mail in 3 months when the military didn’t think these women could do in in 6 months to a year. These women are credited with saving the morale of our troops during the war.
Each shift handled 65K pieces of mail by working three, seven days a week for a total of 17M pieces of mail to ensure the troops stayed in contact with their family.
