Join us for a compelling presentation shedding light on the incredible contributions of women during World War II. The lecture will cover the trailblazing 6888th Postal Battalion, the first and only all-black, all-female battalion to serve overseas during World War II. These courageous women broke racial, gender, and segregation barriers, making a lasting impact on history.

Through captivating photos and powerful storytelling, this presentation honors their resilience and determination, inspiring all who hear their untold story.

Presenter LaCarole Faulkner, a proud resident of Moorestown, is a dedicated veteran of the U.S. Army, having achieved the rank of Major over an impressive 20-year career. Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant after completing her business undergraduate degree and the ROTC program, and while serving in the army, she completed her Masters Degree in Business Management. LaCarole joined during a transformative era in the late seventies and early eighties when she and other service-women began to serve alongside their male counterparts in training and/or combat roles. Her service, both stateside and overseas, echoes the sacrifices of the women of World War II, as she made her own mark in history.
