The article notes: "Members of Houston Post, American Legion, had their annual dinner Tuesday night, in Masonic Hall, and after the dinner the 250 firmer service men present listened to a series of interesting speeches and enjoyed a pleasing entertainment. A feature of the evening was the awarding of two silver medals for meritorious service in the Post the past year. Provision for the annual awarding of medals was made by Samuel F. Houston, father of the man for whom the Post was named. The winners of the medals Tuesday night are Joseph H. Bromely, Jr., past commander, and Robert B. Wilkinson, first vice commander. J. George Black, commander of the Post, made the presentations. He was also the toastmaster following the dinner."
