The star in the center represents our country, and the five points of the star represent
the five-point program of the Sons of The American Legion:
1. Patriotism 2. Citizenship 3.Discipline 4. Leadership
5. Legionism
The sun in the background represents the Sons of The American Legion and the rays represent
the loyalty of its membership.
The blue of the emblem, like the blue of our flag, stands for justice.
The two stars in the blue border stand for freedom and democracy.
The wreath below the star is in memory of our comrades, and those of our fathers who
willingly gave their lives for their country.
The ten points of the emblem represent the ten ideals of every Legion son:
Patriotism, Health, Knowledge, Training, Honor, Faith, Helpfulness, Courtesy, Reverence
and Comradeship.
