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 association 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 the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the principals 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 principals for which The American Legion
stands; and to assist in carrying on FOR GOD AND COUNTRY.
