Romay Davis is being honored for her service with the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, which got mail to U.S. troops in Europe during the war.
The 6888th Central Directory Postal Battalion was credited with solving a growing mail crisis during its stint in England and, upon their return, serving as a role model to generations of Black women who joined the military.
Black History Month provides the opportunity for us to be curious, to look around, and to learn more about the contributions made by African-Americans to our country.
