Welcome to the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Louisiana!
Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within The American Legion. Nationally, the S.A.L. is comprised of 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 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.
