Joint Resolution No. 7 designates May 18 of each year as "Six Triple Eight Day" in New Jersey to honor the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only predominantly African American, all-female unit sent overseas during World War II. This resolution highlights the significant contributions of the Six Triple Eight, which consisted of approximately 850 women who successfully sorted and redirected 17.5 million pieces of backlogged mail under challenging conditions, including poor working environments and systemic racism. Their efforts were crucial in delivering mail to seven million American service members and civilians stationed in Europe.

The resolution also acknowledges the historical context of World War II and the service of at least 28 women from New Jersey in the battalion, including notable figures like Gladys Eva Debman-Blount. 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, thereby ensuring that the legacy of these women is recognized and celebrated each year. The resolution took effect immediately upon approval on May 8, 2025.
