Claire Waters served in the 6888th Battalion, the only all-Black Women’s Army Corps unit stationed overseas in WWII, ensuring soldiers received vital mail. After the war, she founded Project Help Clothing Ministry in central Ohio, now celebrating 40 years under her daughter’s leadership. Though she passed in 2005, the 6888th has since been honored with a monument and a Congressional Gold Medal.
