COLUMBUS – State Rep. Erika White (D-Springfield Township) today proudly announced the passage of House Bill (HB) 204, bipartisan legislation designating March 9th as 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day in Ohio. House Bill 204 passed the House with a unanimous vote on the House floor (91-0).

“Today we have not re-written history but restored the footsteps that the 855 women of the 6888th Battalion, led by Ohioan Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams, have left as an indelible path for all women.  Designating March 9th to honor these trailblazing women and their impact on American history in the state of Ohio is a victory for the state, and for women,” said Rep. White.

HB 204 passed the Ohio House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support and now heads to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.
