The Sons of The American Legion was created in
1932 as an organized
program within The American Legion. The S.A.L. is made up of boys and
men of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the United
States military and became eligible for membership in The American
Legion. Together, members of The American Legion, The American Legion
Auxiliary and the Sons of The American Legion make up what is known as
The Legion Family. All three organizations place high importance on
preserving our American traditions and values, improving the quality of
life for our nation's children, caring for veterans and their families,
and perhaps most importantly, teaching the fundamentals of good
citizenship. (Website)

Are you a male descendant, including stepsons and
adopted sons, of a veteran eligible for membership in The American
Legion?
If
you meet the eligibility requirements for membership in the Sons of The
American Legion, we'd love to have you join our ranks!
