General Activities of the Sons of the American Legion
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within
The American Legion. The SAL 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.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SAL has always assisted Legionnaires with Legion Family programs.
Our Family boasts a combined total Membership of nearly 4.2 million
Members. This year, SAL attained an all time high National Membership
of over 212,000. The largest SAL Detachment (Indiana) has over 28,000
Members. Trophies and awards are given to Detachments and Squadrons
for the largest Membership and the largest increase in Membership.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just as each Legion Post determines the extent of its service to the
Community, State, and Nation, each SAL Squadron is permitted
flexibility in planning programs and activities to meet its own needs.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The SAL has study programs recommended for younger Members. One such
program, called "The Ten Ideals," teaches the elements of Patriotism, Health,
Knowledge, Training, Honor, Faith, Helpfulness, Courtesy, Reverence, and
Comradeship. If a Member completes the Ten Ideals program, he is eligible to
continue with another program called the "Five-Point Program of Service." This
program covers Patriotism, Citizenship, Discipline, Leadership, and Legionism.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SAL focuses on much more than just Membership. At all levels, SAL supports
The American Legion in promoting a wide variety of programs. SAL
assists their Posts in other activities such as Veterans programs,
Veterans Administration home, and hospital volunteerism.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Child Welfare Foundation. Members volunteered over 153,000 hours in 1998
in Veterans Hospitals throughout the Country, and raised over $649,000
that went directly to VA Hospitals and VA Homes for a variety of items
including TVs, radios, medical equipment, and clothing for the patients.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There are many men who are Members of both The American Legion and the
Sons of The American Legion. Often, these individuals started out as young
members of the Sons. Then, when they were old enough to serve in the
Military, they also became eligible to join The Legion. Such individuals
are known within our organization as Dual Members.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Sons of The American Legion is one of many organizations that sponsors
and supports the Citizens Flag Alliance, a coalition formed to secure flag
protection legislation through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. SAL
volunteers work to establish local networks by having petitions available
and handing out informational material. They alert their Communities
to the importance of Respect for the Flag, and they encourage
Flag Education Programs in schools and other local organizations.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Activities of the Sons of The American Legion are covered
in-depth, in their newsletter the "National Update"
which is published four times each year.
