	'''NAMESAKE''' - Coxswain Glen Harris, USCG (1907 -)<br/>Harris, born in 1907, joined the Coast Guard in 1929 and remained a surfman until 1941, when he became coxswain of [[McKEAN_APD_5_ \| USS McKean APD-5]] Boat Number 4. At nearly 35 years of age, his enlisted shipmates considered Harris an old timer. He received the 10-day landing craft training in New Orleans at Higgins Industries, builder of the Higgins Boat. USS McKean was one of four APDs that comprised Transport Division 12 (TransDiv 12), which would insert the Marine Corps’ 1st Raider Battalion on the beaches of Tulagi, on 7 August 1942. Harris landed the first wave of Raiders and, over the course of the next three days, delivered vitally needed equipment, ammunition and supplies. For landing the Marines’ first wave at Tulagi, the Navy awarded '''Silver Star Medals''' to coxswains Tarr, Sparling, Miller and Harris and advanced them in their rating. They were the first enlisted men in the US Coast Guard to receive the Silver Star. All four of these heroic coxswains will be honored as Fast Response Cutter namesakes, [[DANIEL_TARR_WPC_1136_ \| USCGC Daniel Tarr WPC-1136]], [[HAROLD_MILLER_WPC_1138_ \| USCGC Harold Miller WPC-1138]], USCGC Glen Harris WPC-1144 and USCGC William Sparling WPC-1158.

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set,
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
