In honor of PDC George Harman serving as Department Commander in 1940-41, he worked to enhance the role of Maryland in the pre-war preparations. In persuading the VA to move the hospital facility to Fort Howard from Fort McHenry an expansion of services were provided to the veterans. The increased number of service personnel in Maryland prompted then Commander Harman to encourage Posts to open their Post Homes to these servicemen. Throughout his Legion career George Harman expanded The American Legion’s role in the Boy Scouts.
