Eligibility
If you meet the eligibility requirements for membership in the Sons of The American
Legion, we'd love to have you join our ranks!
You can get an official S.A.L. Membership Application from us, just contact one
of our S.A.L. Officers.
Thanks for stopping by today! We're confident you will enjoy becoming a member of
The American Legion Family, this nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting
veterans of the armed services of the United States of America!
Not everyone is eligible to become a member of the Sons of The American Legion.
There are specific membership requirements.
To be eligible, you must be a male descendant (includes stepsons and adopted sons)
of a member of The American Legion. You would also be eligible to join the
Sons of The American Legion if you are the male descendant (stepsons and adopted
sons included) of a veteran who died in service during World War I, World War II,
the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, or the Persian Gulf War
(see specific time periods for service
during these conflicts).
You would also be eligible to join the Sons of The American Legion if you are the
male descendant (stepsons and adopted sons included) of a veteran who died subsequent
to his or her honorable discharge from service in World War I, World War II, the
Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, or the Persian Gulf War (the
same eligibility periods apply as above).
If you need help obtaining the records to prove your eligibility visit
The National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records.
It is the repository of millions of military personnel, health, and medical records
of discharged and deceased veterans of all services during the 20th century. Information
from the records is made available upon written request (with signature and date)
to the extent allowed by law.
Notice:
You may not be aware, but if you are a veteran Legion member, and your father or
grandfather is a veteran, you are eligible for duel membership and can also join
the S.A.L.
A duel member has the benefit of having your SAL dues cut in half, so it will only
cost you $10/year. I mention this in an effort to help kick start the SAL
and get more members active it its programs. If you are interested in becoming
a duel member, the SAL monthly meeting takes place the 2nd Sunday of
each month, at 2PM.
$20.00

Perhaps the biggest benefit one receives as a member of the Sons is the satisfaction
of knowing you are helping others in your community and elsewhere. However, there
are also some tangible benefits available through commercial vendors. Sons are eligible
for almost all of the same discounts that available to members of The American Legion.
