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 U.S. War Department lifted the 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 significant contributions of the 6888th Battalion, which not only provided essential support to the military by connecting servicemembers with their families but also played a crucial role in changing racial and gender dynamics within the military. The battalion received several honors, including the Women's Army Corps Service Medal and the World War II Victory Medal, and has been recognized in various memorials, including a dedication by President Barack Obama in 2009. The resolution ultimately serves to formally recognize and honor the accomplishments of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion and its members.
