Heroes Among Us: The Six Triple Eight

As a part of our "Heroes Among Us" series, Go For Broke National Education Center is honoring our Black American veterans of World War II. As our nation currently finds itself struggling with a crisis of conscience, we acknowledge that despite the promise of America, not all people have been embraced by America’s value of equality. In recognition and support of our Black brothers and sisters, Go For Broke National Education Center will be sharing stories of Black veterans of World War II—of their courage, patriotism, and sacrifice. Despite the great discrimination they faced, they upheld America’s promise and provide us today with a sense of moral direction. In this video, we honor the 6888th Postal Directory Battalion (Six Triple Eight): a segregated unit of Black women who overcame adversity to serve their nation.
