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 backlog that had accumulated over several years.

The resolution acknowledges the battalion's significant contributions to military morale and communication during the war, as well as its role in challenging racial and gender stereotypes within the military. The 6888th Battalion has received various honors, including recognition from President Barack Obama in 2009 and the dedication of a monument in 2018. The Connecticut General Assembly recognizes the battalion's achievements and honors its members for their dedication and service, with no fiscal impact associated with the resolution.
