The S.A.L. is a program of The American Legion. Each time we recite the Preamble we reaffirm that we will do our part to maintain the mission of the Legion. We pledge that we will devote our time to mutual helpfulness, friendship, law and order, Americanism, Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, and Children & Youth.
A priceless heritage was passed to us. It was paid for with hard work, sacrifice, sweat, tears, and blood. We must always guard it so that we can pass it to the next generation of members of the Sons of The American Legion. It is our duty and our obligation.
