Among the roughly 9,400 graves at Normandy American Cemetery are those of four women. These are their stories:
stripes.com/special-report… During WWII, there was the Women’s Army Corps, a special component created during the war to allow women to serve in noncombat roles. The Corps was segregated and included the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, to which these four women were assigned. Members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion march in a parade on May 27, 1945, that followed a ceremony in honor of Joan of Arc at the marketplace in Rouen, France, where she was burned at the stake.
