Default Date from text

I need to return the oldest of three dates that are presented as text
"mmddyy" i.e."030107" "061493" "110295". If I use MIN, "030107" will return,
if I use MAX obviously "110295" will return. Is there a way I can turn this
text into the proper date so I can use MIN, then use =TEXT (A1,"MMDDYY") to
get it back to text?
Thanks.
