Sons of the American Legion

The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization 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.

All male descendants, adopted sons and stepsons of members of The American Legion, and such male descendants of veterans who died in service during World War II, The Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, The Persian Gulf War and the War on terrorism, during the delimiting periods set forth in Article IV, Section 1, of the National Constitution of The American Legion, or who died subsequent to their honorable discharge from such service, shall be eligible for membership in the Sons of The American Legion.
