The Black women soldiers of the 6888th Battalion recently received a Congressional Gold Medal. An NBC reporter helped make that happen.

The 6888's story is not often told. In 1945, Army officials reported that unreliable mail delivery to U.S. soldiers was hurting morale, so the 6888th Battalion traveled to Europe to sort through a backlog of mail in the millions. Not only did they create their own system to handle the backlog, but they also did it quicker than the Army expected.
