AI Summary
This bill enacts section 5.212 of the Ohio Revised Code to designate March 9th as "6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day" in honor of a unique and historically significant World War II military unit. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was the only all-Black women's unit to serve overseas during the war.
