The Warren County Veterans Services Office is proud to present “A Legacy Worth Delivering: Honoring the 6888th Battalion” – a special community tribute celebrating the heroic service of the only all-Black, all-female unit deployed overseas during World War II, while also recognizing the continued service of Veterans and Postal Workers past and present.

The event will be held on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard in Norlina, North Carolina. Doors open at 2:00 PM, with the program beginning at 3:00 PM featuring a screening of The Six Triple Eight, a moving film that captures the legacy of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Attendees will enjoy dinner during the screening, followed by a brief recognition program honoring the contributions of Veterans and Postal Workers – whose dedication and sacrifice mirror the spirit of the 6888th.

“The women of the 6888th answered the call in a time of both war and inequality. Their courage, efficiency, and commitment to duty helped restore morale across the military. Today, we carry their legacy forward by honoring not only them, but all those who have served in uniform and in the U.S. Postal Service,” said Jamytta Bell, Warren County Veteran Service Officer.

The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required to ensure seating and meal preparation. Please RSVP by July 10, 2025, at clicking here or by calling (252) 257-3385, Monday–Friday, 10:00 AM–3:00 PM.

Sponsored by the Warren County Veterans Services Office, this celebration is a powerful opportunity to remember the past, uplift present-day service members and workers, and inspire future generations.

NeoSoul Festival 2025 is bringing soulful vibes to Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard in Norlina, North Carolina, on Saturday, April 26th. Headlining the event is the legendary Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter, Angie Stone.

Stone rose to fame in the late 1970s with the groundbreaking hip-hop trio, The Sequence and later as part of the R&B trio, Vertical Hold. Her solo debut, Black Diamond (1999), went gold and featured the hit “No More Rain (In This Cloud).” Two years later, she followed with Mahogany Soul, which included the timeless track “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” and continued to solidify her status with albums like Stone Love (2004) and The Art of Love & War (2007), her first number-one album on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart.

With three Grammy nominations, two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, and the 2021 Soul Music Icon Award from the Black Music Honors, Angie Stone’s influence on neosoul is undeniable.

The festival will also feature live DJ sets, local vendors, and food trucks, promising an unforgettable day of music, culture, and community.

Tickets for NeoSoul Festival 2025 start at $45 and can be purchased at Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard’s website (https://sevenspringsvineyards.com).
