Storyline

The Six Triple Eight tells the inspiring and incredible true story of the first and only courageous Women's Army Corps unit of color stationed overseas during World War II. Facing racism and sexism, a strange land, and a war-torn country, they persevered and sorted 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 was one they created themselves: "No mail, low morale." The women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion not only facilitated mail delivery; they also delivered hope. The story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion has been left out of history books and ignored by the entire country—until now. On March 14, 2022, President Joe Biden signed a bill awarding these women Congress's highest honor—the Congressional Gold Medal.
