The Sons of The American Legion (SAL) 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.

All male descendants, adopted sons and stepsons of members of The American Legion, and such male descendants of veterans who dies in service during World War 1, World War 11, and Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, and the Persian Gulf War, or who died subsequent to their honorable discharge from such service, shall be eligible for membership in the Sons of The American Legion.

Our objective is to help the American Legion Legionnaires and Veterans of our community. We have several fundraisers during the year and help support our local schools.
