Truly an inspiration. I read with interest about the 6888th gladly working around the clock (24 by 7) to sort out the mail issues and to get letters to the servicemembers.
I was reminded of the early days of Desert Shield/Desert Storm. While I was there, I read about a reserve postal unit that had "gone on strike" because they were working long hours six days a week (note: This is not a ding on the reserves, just the attitude of those Soldiers). Much different behavior than these women!
Glad they finally got the recognition they deserved.

She was way ahead of her time! Many like her really supported the war effort, behind the scenes!
