Preamble to the S.A.L. National Constitution
Proud possessors of a priceless heritage, we male descendants of veterans of the Great Wars, associate ourselves together
as "Sons of The American Legion" for the following purposes:
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate
a true spirit of Americanism; to preserve the memories of our former members and the associations of our members and our forefathers
in the Great Wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy
of both the classes and masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and
transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our friendship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulness; to adopt in letter and spirit all of the great principles for which The American Legion stands; and
to assist in carrying on for God and Country.
Eligibility:
To be eligible, you must be a male descendant (includes stepsons and adopted sons) of a member of The American Legion.
You would also be eligible to join the Sons of The American Legion if you are the male descendant (stepsons and adopted
sons included) of a veteran who died in service during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon,
Grenada, Panama, or the Persian Gulf War (see specific time periods for service during these conflicts).
You would also be eligible to join the Sons of The American Legion if you are the male descendant (stepsons and adopted
sons included) of a veteran who died subsequent to his or her honorable discharge from service in World War I, World War II,
the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, or the Persian Gulf War (the same eligibility periods apply as
above).
If you need help obtaining the records to prove your eligibility visit The National Personnel Records Center, Military
Personnel Records. It is the repository of millions of military personnel, health, and medical records of discharged and deceased
veterans of all services during the 20th century. Information from the records is made available upon written request (with
signature and date) to the extent allowed by law.
We meet on the second Tuesday of the month, at 7:30 PM.
No meetings in July and August.
