What an honorable mission and proud accomplishment. Their contribution to the war effort was such an enormous benefit for the troops who long to hear from home. Thank you 6888th and we are thankful for the ladies who sacrificed for the war effort.
WOW. The 6 Triple 8 was previously unknown to me and I am very disappointed of that fact. This unit should have been given many accolades over the years, beginning during the war. To have been taken for granted and overlooked is a crime in my opinion.
As a veteran who largely served in a support role, I know that the men and women who are at the point of the spear wouldn't do well without the multitude who make their jobs possible.
Thank you Tara for finally illuminating your readers about such an important unit. God bless these women for the difficult job that they completed with excellence.
Wonderful story. My Mom was a WAC in WWII. Served in the Philippines and married my Dad there. In a bit of serendipity here, on return to the US he entered the USPS and worked there until he retired. :-)
Thank you, Tara for telling about this little known contribution that was important for the morale of the troops! So many throughout history have contributed in so many ways. It was inspiring to learn about “The SixTripleEight” ! 🇺🇸
Thank you, Tara, for making these behind-the-scenes women known. I’m familiar with the Tuskegee Airmen, but not the 6888. To think of the joy the men experienced when they got their mail, not even realizing what went into its arrival.
Glad that these ladies finally received recognition for their outstanding service to our country.

Another inspiring story of bravery, I never knew this. 🇺🇸

👍👍👍
Betsy Tara Ross too bad some of them didn't go to work at the USPS. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, Tara, for another story I had never heard of before!
These ladies did GREAT work that was much needed by our troops and their families!

Honestly, how did they do it? Letters simply mailed to "junior" or "buster," but they figured it out? Crazy.
They just “did it” over and over until it got to the right “junior” or “buster”?
LOL. Maybe they decided to read the mail and try to figure it out that way? I have no idea.
