ABOUT US




 


LEGION

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a  patriotic,
mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. A  community-service organization
which now numbers nearly 3 million  members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000
American Legion Posts  worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments
-- one each for  the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France,
Mexico,  and the Philippines.

The American Legion's national headquarters is in Indianapolis,  Indiana, with
additional offices in Washington, DC. In addition to  thousands of volunteers
serving in leadership and program implementation  capacities in local
communities to the Legion's standing national  commissions and committees, the
national organization has a regular  full-time staff of about 300 employees.
Visit The American Legion  Headquarters at www.legion.org.


SONS OF THE AMERICAN LEGION

The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an  organization within
The American Legion The S.A.L. is made up 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 and the Sons of The American
Legion make up what is known as  The Legion Family. All three 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, teaching the fundamentals of
good  citizenship. Sons have always assisted Legionnaires with Legion Family
 programs. 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
287,000. The largest Detachment (Indiana) has over  34,000 members. Trophies and
awards are given to Detachments and  Squadrons for the largest membership and
the largest increase in  membership.

Just as each Legion post determines the extent of its service to the  community,
state, and nation, each S.A.L. squadron is permitted  flexibility in planning
programs and activities to meet its own needs.  The S.A.L. 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,
discipline, leadership, and legionisim.
 

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, Children Youth  projects, and fund raising. In
just the past ten years, Sons have raised  more than a million dollars for The
American Legion Child Welfare  Foundation. Members have volunteered over 211,150
hours to date in 2004  in Veterans Hospitals throughout the country and raised
over $1,454,000  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. Then, when they were old enough to serve the  military, they also
became eligible to join The Legion. Such  individuals are known within our
organization as dual members.
 

The Sons of The American Legion is one of many organizations that  sponsors and
supports the Citizens Flag Alliance, a coalition formed to  secure flag
protection legislation through an amendment to the U.S.  Constitution. S.A.L.
volunteers work to establish local networks by  having petitions available and
handing out informational material. They  alert their communities to the
importance of respect for the flag and  they encourage flag education programs
in schools and other local  organizations.
 


AUXILIARY

In this world of ours, the American Legion Auxiliary shines as an  example of
unselfish giving. With almost a million members from all  walks of life, the
Auxiliary administers hundreds of volunteer programs,  gives tens of thousands
of hours to its communities and to veterans,  and raises millions of dollars to
support its own programs as well as  other worthwhile charities familiar to most
Americans. It is all  accomplished with volunteers.

The Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist The American Legion, is  much more
than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own  unique identity
while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong  to The American Legion.
Like the Legion, the Auxiliary's interests have  broadened to encompass the
entire community.
 

The American Legion Auxiliary is the world's largest   patriotic service
organization. Through its nearly 10,500 Units located  in every state and some
foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the  spirit of America that has
prevailed through war and peace. Along with  The American Legion, it solidly
stands behind America and her ideals.
