The resolution honors the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, a unique unit of the United States Army composed predominantly of African-American and Latina women, which was formed after the lifting of a ban on their service in the Women's Army Corps in November 1944. Commissioned from February 1945 to March 1946, the battalion was tasked with sorting and clearing a significant backlog of mail for military personnel and other workers stationed in Europe during World War II. Despite facing challenging conditions, including air raids and inadequate facilities, the battalion successfully processed an average of 65,000 parcels per shift, clearing a six-month backlog in just three months.

The resolution acknowledges the battalion's significant contributions to the military, including their role in maintaining morale by connecting servicemembers with their families back home. It highlights the battalion's achievements, such as the development of a new mail tracking system and their recognition through various honors, including a monument dedicated to them in 2018 and a commendation from President Barack Obama in 2009. The Connecticut General Assembly recognizes the 6888th Battalion for its outstanding service and the impact it had on changing racial and gender roles within the military. The resolution has no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
