Merchant Marine Paul Goercke and the Alexander Hamilton Post 448 (2022)

"Who he loved barred him from service, but love of country led him to find another way to serve."

While Merchant Marine veteran Paul Goercke rests with his family in his plot at the Golden Gate National Cemetery, he is survived and remembered by his pioneering American Legion Post 448, the only predominantly LGBTQ post in the nation.
