Emerald Knights Honor Legionnaires At Lincoln Post
The Nebraska American Legion dubbed B. G. Westover and Georg W. Fowell, Jr. Knights of Emerald at a Lincoln post ceremony, presenting the Emerald cross amid humor. Guy C. Chambers praised retreats and compared the pair to historic generals amid a debate on Americanization sparked by the Emerald incident. A separate note recounts a dubious Lincoln man’s aid-seeking tale and a Denver hospital search. The Legion outlines admissions to the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers based on disability, not cause.
