The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 68 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 undertook the critical mission of clearing a backlog of over 17 million pieces of mail in England, significantly boosting soldier morale. After the war, she dedicated her life to caring for others as a nurse's aide and raising a family, 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 to her family and recognizes the lasting impact of her contributions to both Wisconsin and the nation. Anna Mae Robertson passed away at the age of 101, leaving behind a profound legacy celebrated through various media and public tributes.
