Your Charge: With Encouragement, Enthusiasm, and Excellence


Dear Little Miss 6888th Ambassadors,


I write to you from eternity’s peaceful shores, where the echoes of love, duty, and courage still resound across generations. Though I am not with you in body, know that my spirit stood proudly beside you yesterday—and still stands with you today.


What a glorious moment it was in Emancipation Hall, where the names and deeds of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion were finally spoken aloud beneath the dome of a nation that once overlooked us. You were there, not as spectators, but as stewards of our story. What an honor—and what a responsibility.


You are young in years, but mighty in purpose. Every ribbon on your uniform, every word you speak, every smile you give carries the weight of our legacy. We were women who served under the strain of segregation, far from home, driven not by praise but by purpose. We worked in cold warehouses, often forgotten by the world—but we never forgot why we were there. We brought order to chaos, hope to despair, and light to the darkness of war.

And now you—our precious Ambassadors—deliver something just as sacred: remembrance.



This is your charge:


Walk in Encouragement. When the world seems heavy, encourage one another. Be the voice of possibility, the smile in the storm, the reminder that we’ve come so far and will go even farther.


Serve with Enthusiasm. Let your spirit shine. Whether you’re visiting a school, marching in a parade, or reading our stories, do it with joy. Your light draws others to the legacy you carry.


Lead with Excellence. Excellence was our standard, not our option. We made history by doing what others thought we could not. You must do the same—not for applause, but because it is your birthright.


Stand proud in your sash. Walk tall in your shoes. Speak boldly with your heart. You are not only our legacy—you are our dream fulfilled.


So go forward, Little Miss 6888th—confident, courageous, and committed. You are now the keepers of our name, the carriers of our flame, and the continuation of our call.





With all my love and lasting pride,

Lt. Col. Charity Adams Earley

Commander, 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion

United States Army, Women’s Army Corps

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
