PA HB1806

Designates March 9 of each year as "6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day" in Pennsylvania to honor the only all-African American, all-female battalion deployed to Europe during World War II

The 6888th Battalion included over 850 women (824 enlisted, 31 officers) who served from February 1945 to March 1946, sorting mail for 7 million military personnel and civilians stationed in Europe

The battalion processed approximately 195,000 parcels daily and cleared a six-month mail backlog in three months despite harsh working conditions in rat-infested, unheated aircraft hangars

81 battalion members were Pennsylvania residents at the time of enlistment, with all names listed in the legislation

Requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging residents to observe the day by writing letters to family, friends, military personnel, and veterans
