AMERICAN LEGION SQUADRON 69

The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within The American Legion. The SAL is made 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, Sons of The American Legion and The American Legion Riders make up what is know as the Legion Family. All four 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 the fundamentals of good citizenship.

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, leadership and legionism.

SAL membership eligibility requirements.
