The Six Triple Eight Valiant Legacy

Imagine a cold, dimly lit warehouse in the heart of wartime Europe. Stacks of undelivered letters, 17 million strong, tower over 855 women in uniform. For these soldiers, failure isn’t an option. Their mission: restore hope to homesick troops by reuniting them with the letters and packages that remind them of what they’re fighting for. This is the untold story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the Six Triple Eight.

Led by the trailblazing Major Charity Adams, these African American women shattered every expectation. Sorting mail in frigid conditions, battling racism and sexism from their own countrymen, and defying societal norms, they accomplished the impossible. Through grit, innovation, and an unbreakable sisterhood, they cleared backlogs in record time, saving morale across the frontlines. Yet, when they returned home, their triumphs were met with silence. No parades. No recognition. Only the enduring strength to forge ahead.

The True Story of the 6888th Battalion reveals the courage, determination, and sacrifices of these forgotten heroes. Through personal stories, vivid accounts, and the battalion’s long-overdue journey to recognition—including the 2022 Congressional Gold Medal—this book celebrates their groundbreaking contributions to the war effort and beyond. It’s a story of resilience that reminds us how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.
