The resolution designates May 18 of each year as "Six Triple Eight Day" in New Jersey to honor the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-African American, all-female unit deployed overseas during World War II. Organized in Birmingham, England in March 1945, the battalion faced significant challenges, including poor working conditions and systemic racism, yet they successfully delivered over 14 million pieces of backlogged mail to American soldiers and civilians in Europe within three months. Their efforts were recognized when President Biden signed a bill awarding them the Congressional Gold Medal in March 2022.

The resolution highlights the contributions of at least 28 women from New Jersey who served in the battalion, including notable members like Gladys Eva Debman-Blount and Marion VanOrkey. To commemorate this day, the Governor is requested to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe Six Triple Eight Day with appropriate programs and activities. This recognition serves to honor the dedication and achievements of the women of the Six Triple Eight, who overcame numerous hardships to fulfill their mission during a pivotal time in history.
