Pennsylvania HB1806 designates March 9 as 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day. This bill honors the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all African American all-female battalion deployed to the European Theater during World War II. The unit processed a backlog of six months' worth of mail in just three months, significantly aiding the war effort. Despite their contributions, the unit received no official recognition upon disbandment in 1946. The act encourages annual proclamations to recognize the unit's service and the importance of postal employees.
