Description: "A memoir of one woman's extraordinary personal journey in the US military and her work to honor her predecessors with the Congressional Gold Medal. Chronicling Cummings's unlikely but successful path to leadership roles in the US Army and afterward, this book also tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (known as the Six Triple Eight)-a trailblazing African American World War II Women's Army Corps unit-and of the grassroots campaign Cummings led to honor them"-- Provided by publisher.
