      This was a wonderful presentation of the accomplishments of women of color who served in the armed forces. I have been encouraging everyone to see this movie. So much of what we have accomplished is intentionally omitted from history! My husband and I are both U.S. Air Force Veterans and live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. My husband works in a building on Langley AFB which still has the ‘NACA’ emblem on it. I never knew the significance of that until seeing ‘Hidden Figures’. No one knew of the contributions of the ‘female computers’ in the space program until that movie. No one knew that the first winners of the prestigious ‘Top Gun’ Aerial Gunnery competition in 1949, were the famed Tuskegee Airmen! The trophy was ‘mysteriously lost’ for 55 years until a ‘sleuth’ of sorts located it locked away in storage at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. When asked why this trophy was not on display, it was said that that action would “…never…” happen! As a member of the Tidewater Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen, I am exhilarated to know the trophy is now on display at the Air Force Museum! When I enlisted in the Air Force in 1968, I had no idea what ‘ATC’ was. I asked the drill instructor what the initials meant and was told that it meant Air Traffic Control and that women could not enter that career field. I put it down as my first choice anyway and became the first female of color Air Traffic Controller for the U. S. Air Force and likely the first woman of color to control air traffic in Japanese air space (while stationed at Yokota Air Base). So while so much of what we have accomplished is ‘left out’ of history, I am absolutely delighted to learn of the phenomenal achievements of the Six Triple Eight! Well done ladies! Acknowledgment of their contribution is looooong overdue!

      Thank you very much for writing this. I came here with the intention of writing it myself, as well as offering kudos, but seeing you and one other person had already done so, decided not to sound redundant.
      That did bug me all the way through this otherwise well done video, though. Having a military background, and having been raised by two generations of educators, that sort of thing, (if it's continuous or repetitive, and not just a one-off,) sets my teeth on edge!😬 It really was a distraction throughout the narration, and sounded more like "cotillion" than "Batallion."
      The video itself, and the rest of the story and narration was well done, and provided a good bit of information not usually included in any other non-military based telling of their story. The enormous backlogs they faced, caused by previous handling that was much less focused on the requirements of the job, just didn't really come across in the telling of the story, but so much more in the SHOWING of it through the images provided by the photography! My gosh! Over two YEARS of undelivered Mail and parcels all over the European theatre? I can't imagine all the damage that could have been done to the soldier's morale by not getting those messages in a timely manner! Notifications of important family members activities, the birth of children, photographs of their children that were two years older by the time the letters were actually delivered? Letters by wives, girlfriends, sweethearts, sisters, mothers, and so on that could have made all the difference in a soldier's morale!? And the parcels - the food that had become rancid and must have smelled, or been bait for bugs and rodents? What an incredible task - and to have it cleaned up in three months! 👏 Amazing!

    Great presentation on omitted information! Just an FYI…
    In the military, the word is ‘battalion’ to rhyme with ‘stallion’. Very different from the word that rhymes with ‘cotillion’ , a formal ball where young ladies are presented to society. At any rate, however you pronounce it, it is a remarkable story. I only hope the word can get out about it and even make it into the history books!
