The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 67 honors Anna Mae Robertson, a notable resident of Milwaukee and one of the last surviving members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, also known as the Six Triple Eight. Enlisting in the Women's Army Corps during World War II, Robertson and her battalion were tasked with clearing a significant backlog of mail for soldiers, a mission they accomplished in just three months under challenging conditions. After the war, she dedicated her life to caring for others as a nurse's aide and raising a family, ultimately receiving recognition for her service decades later, including individual medals in 2014 and a Congressional Gold Medal for her battalion in 2025.
The resolution acknowledges Robertson's extraordinary achievements, her legacy of resilience and service, and her embodiment of duty, honor, and patriotism. It expresses gratitude for her contributions to the nation and extends condolences to her family following her passing at the age of 101. The Wisconsin Legislature aims to honor her memory and the lasting impact she has had on both the state and the country.
