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.
