Sons of American Legion Post 119
What do the Sons do?
How do the Sons operate?
Founded in 1932, Sons of The American Legion exists to honor the service and sacrifice of Legionnaires.
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.
A squadron has flexibility in planning programs and activities to meet their needs, but must remember S.A.L.’s mission: to strengthen the four pillars of The American Legion. Therefore, squadrons’ campaigns place an emphasis on preserving American traditions and values, improving the quality of life for our nation’s children, caring for veterans and their families, and teaching the fundamentals of good citizenship.
One of the most popular Sons events at Post 119 is the monthly Steak Night at the Legion, which is always held on the second Tuesday of the month with Sons working as volunteer cooks and servers.

The Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L.) is a program of The American Legion. Membership in the Sons is separate from Legionnaire membership, but the organization is not a separate entity.
The Sons organization is called a squadron at the local level. A squadron pairs with a local American Legion post; a squadron’s charter is contingent upon its parent post’s charter.
