The cancellation of The American Legion 101st National Convention did not stop a California delegation of Legionnaires from honoring Eagle Scout Michael McPhie of Irvine, Calif. on behalf of the national organization. McPhie, who was sponsored by Post 862 in SaddleBack Valley, was named as The American Legion 2020 Eagle Scout of the Year for his work to memorialize the stories of Orange County veterans through the Veterans History Project and the Library of Congress.
