Arlington National Cemetery
Nov. 20, 2024 | 4:52
On Nov. 20, 2024, Tyler Perry, Kerry Washington and Ebony Obsidian came to Arlington National Cemetery as part of a USO visit to honor the legacy of the 6888th Central Postal Battalion,
known as the "Six Triple Eight." This historic, all-Black, all-female unit of the Women's Army Corps served overseas
during World War II, ensuring U.S. service members received long-delayed mail. The visit included a solemn tribute to Maj. Blanche Scott and Master Sgt. Allie Harshaw,
unit members from the 6888th Central Postal Battalion buried at ANC and a Public Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
