Grit and Grace

Join us for the Grit and Grace event featuring Denise McBride as she shares the inspiring story of the U.S. Army’s 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—known as the 'Six Triple Eight.' This all-Black Women’s Army Corps unit cleared a three-year backlog of 17 million pieces of mail during WWII, reconnecting troops with loved ones and leaving a remarkable legacy of resilience and service.

As the daughter of 6888th soldier Phyllis Inez Galloway Meekins, Denise offers unique personal insights into their history, leadership, and the honor of their Congressional Gold Medal recognition.

Enjoy appetizers and beverages while discovering the enduring impact of these trailblazing women. Don’t miss this special evening of history, inspiration, and connection!
