Sons of the American Legion

The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within The American Legion. The Sons are made up of 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 American Legion Family. Our Family boasts a combined total membership of nearly 4.2 million members. This year, Sons attained an all-time high national membership of over 350,000.

Sons focus on much more than just membership. At all levels, Sons support The American Legion in promoting a wide variety of programs. Sons assist their posts in other activities such as veterans’ programs, Veterans Administration home and hospital volunteerism, youth projects, and fund raising.

In just the past ten years, Sons have raised more than 5 million dollars for The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation. In 2012, S.A.L. members volunteered over 362,257 hours in Veteran Hospitals throughout the country and raised over $5,083,600 that has gone 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, and 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.”
