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! If you do not live in this area, and are interested in membership, you should be able to get an official S.A.L. Membership Application from just about any American Legion Post in the country. Not everyone is eligible to become a member of the Sons. 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).

Give us your name and address and Post #95 Sons of The American Legion Squadron will send you the necessary membership application form. Contact us at mississinewapost95@yahoo.com.
