We have been sadly notified by Bud Robins of the Alexander Hamilton American Legion Post #448 that their long time leader and founder Dr. Paul Hardman has passed away. On behalf of the officers, members and friends of the American Federation of Veterans we extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy to those that are now experiencing the pain and loss of this great gentleman. Dr. Hardman has been a long-time proud veteran leader who consistently forged ahead in the struggle for equality. This is a turning page in history that mirrors a brave image of courage and fine leadership that will be missed but not forgotten. May his fond memory be reflected in our thoughts and prayers during this period of honorable mourning.
