Several resolutions were drawn up and were referred to a committee for decision. The most important business was the naming of the post. The name J. T. Houston Post, was adopted after a Germantown man who made the supreme sacrifice in the Argonne last October. Lieutenant Houston enlisted in the French Ambulance Service in 1914, but was later commissioned in another department of the French army. When America entered the war, he sailed to the United States where he received a commission in the Twenty-eighth Division. He sailed for France in May, 1918, and was killed in October of the same year."
