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 sent overseas during World War II. Organized in Birmingham, England, on March 4, 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 crucial in ensuring that military personnel received vital correspondence during the war.

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. It calls for the Governor 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 legacy and achievements of the Six Triple Eight, celebrating their resilience and dedication in the face of adversity.
