Sons of the American Legion

The Sons of The American Legion is a legally constituted organization, instituted

and recognized by official action of The American Legion’s National Executive

Committee. Each squadron exists through sponsorship of the individual post of

The American Legion and is subject to such rules, regulations and supervision

as shall be created by the sponsoring post that are not in conflict with rules and

regulations set up by the National Executive Committee. Recognition of district

and detachment organizations of Sons has been approved by the NEC.

Sons of The American Legion squadrons can be a source of pride for their members

and the sponsoring American Legion post. By volunteering to assist older

veterans and participating in patriotic holiday events, squadrons not only expand

the post’s representation but reflect the Sons’ purpose “to foster and perpetuate a

true spirit of Americanism.”

All male descendants adopted sons, and stepsons of members of The American Legion, and such male descendants of veterans who died in service during the period of April 6, 1917, through November 11, 1918, or any time from December 7, 1941, to date, who served honorably, as 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.
