The House Joint Resolution No. 6 honors the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, a unique unit of the United States Army composed exclusively of African-American and Latina women during World War II. Formed after the lifting of a ban on their service in November 1944, the battalion was deployed to the European Theater to address a significant backlog of mail for military personnel and support staff. Over the course of their service from February 1945 to March 1946, the 6888th Battalion processed an impressive volume of mail under challenging conditions, including air raids and inadequate facilities, ultimately clearing a backlog that had accumulated for years.

The resolution acknowledges the battalion's critical role in maintaining morale among servicemembers by ensuring they received correspondence from home, thereby dispelling stereotypes and contributing to a shift in racial and gender roles within the military. Despite their significant achievements, the battalion was disbanded without formal recognition at the time. The resolution also highlights the honors received by the battalion, including the Women's Army Corps Service Medal and recognition from President Barack Obama in 2009, as well as a dedicated monument in 2018. The Connecticut General Assembly seeks to formally recognize and honor the contributions of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion to the United States military.
