The Phoenix VA Health Care System honored Major Fannie Griffin-McClendon (Ret.), the last surviving member of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, with a plaque dedication ceremony at Steele Indian School Park’s Memorial Hall on Aug. 21.

“The living history of the World War II generation is coming to a close, and at VA, we are committed to honoring them now and in the future,” said Elijah Ditter, Phoenix VA Interim Medical Center Director.

The event celebrated McClendon’s remarkable service and legacy with numerous tributes. She was presented with a VA Centenarian certificate, a lifetime membership to the Veterans of Foreign Wars from Pat Tillman Memorial Post 40, a proclamation from the City of Tempe, and a presentation by Congressman Greg Stanton (Ariz.), who awarded McClendon the prestigious Congressional Gold Medal granted to the Six Triple Eight in April 2025.
