Preamble to the S.A.L. National Constitution

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 associations 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 the 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 friendship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness; to adopt in letter and spirit all of the great principles for which The American Legion stands; and to assist in carrying on for God and Country.

Results of the elections and volunteers to fill Squadron positions have resulted in the Officers listed above being responsible for handling matters of Squadron 797.  Volunteers are needed to fill open Squadron officer positions.  Please direct all email correspondence to site@al797oh.org or by mail to SAL Post Adjutant, P.O. Box 30843, Gahanna, OH 43230. 

Eligibility: All males of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the U.S. military and were eligible for American Legion membership. Members of The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of The American Legion comprise the Legion Family, which has a combined membership of nearly 3 million. Although Sons has its own membership, the organization is not a separate entity. Rather, S.A.L. is a program of The American Legion. Many Legionnaires hold dual membership in S.A.L.

Membership Costs: Annual membership is $20.00. If you are a member of the Legion, SAL membership is $10.00. Junior membership (under 18 years of age) is $10.00. Application forms are available from any member of the SAL.

All Legion and SAL members are now able to pay their dues thru the mylegion.org web site with no additional charge.  Merely use your credit card to make payment and you will receive a temporary card, resulting in a permanent card being mailed to you from the Post.  PLEASE KEEP US INFORMED OF ADDRESS OR PHONE # CHANGES SO THEY CAN BE CORRECTED AT DEPARTMENT.
