What is the main purpose of the Sons Of The American Legion?
The mission of the Sons is to support veterans and their families and the policies
of our parent organization, The American Legion. Virtually everything that involves the Sons could be grouped into three areas:
1. Support for veterans and their families
2. Promoting patriotism and Americanism
3. Promoting programs which benefit the youth of our country

SONS OF THE AMERICAN LEGION PREAMBLE
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 association
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 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 friendships by our devotion to mutual helpfulness. To adopt in letter and spirit all of the great principles
for which the American Legion stands. To assist in carrying on for God and Country.
