The Six Triple Eight was the only all-female Women’s Army Corps battalion deployed overseas during World War II. Despite facing extraordinary challenges, these courageous women successfully cleared a massive backlog of military mail, restoring communication and hope to service members and their families.
As our nation celebrates America 250, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this commemoration provides a meaningful opportunity to recognize the contributions of women whose courage, patriotism, and service helped shape our nation’s history. Honoring the Six Triple Eight is an important part of telling the American story as we reflect on 250 years of our nation’s history.
On Friday, November 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., the John B. Cade Library will host the Six Triple Eight Exhibit Launch and Welcome Reception on Southern University’s campus. This special evening will bring together family members of the Six Triple Eight, military veterans, university leadership, students, and community supporters to celebrate the battalion’s remarkable service and lasting legacy.
