SAVE THE DATE - March 22, 2025 - Women Veterans Committee Event

Greetings Everyone!

 

SAVE THE DATE

 

The Department's Women Veterans Committee needs your support. We are inviting all female comrades in your chapter to join our ranks in 2025. We are looking for members who desire to participate in moving women veterans forward through volunteer service.

 

On March 22, 2025, we will be hosting our Spring event, which celebrates and honors Female Educators in our chapters. From K-12 to collegiate to those who taught while in military service (Instructors, etc.) and beyond, we wish to highlight their service.

 

We are requesting the names and emails of all women willing to come and participate. Our committee is looking to build new leaders to take us forward into 2026 and beyond.  More information is forthcoming regarding the location and date. Please refer to the flyer below for further information.

 

Thanks and we look forward to a full house!

 

 

In Continued Comradeship,

The Six Triple Eighth (6888th)

https://www.womenofthe6888th.org/about-us 

The Six Triple Eighth, starring Kerry (The West Wing) Washington. Although Director Tyler Perry added a few creative liberties to his storyline about the all black female postal unit deployed to Birmingham, England during World War II tasked with sorting out and delivering millions of letters and packages (7-17 million and not 70 million as depicted in the movie’s ending credits) within a 6-month mandate, provides a more near accurate description of the Women’s Army Corps unit who effectively increased morale for the solders whose mail was delayed from being delivered. The 6888th accomplished their mission in about a little less than 90 days. Families had not heard from their loved ones for a very long time and the 6888th unit resolved the problem.
