Welcome to the detachment of North Dakota

About the Sons of the American Legion

Founded in 1932, the Sons of The American Legion exists to honor the service and sacrifice of Legionnaires.

S.A.L. members include males of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the U.S. military and were eligible for American Legion membership. Members of The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and Sons of The American Legion comprise the Legion Family, which has a combined membership of nearly 3 million.

Although Sons have its own membership, the organization is not a separate entity. Rather, S.A.L. is a program of The American Legion. Many Legionnaires hold dual membership in S.A.L.

The Detachment of North Dakota would love to have you as a member. We have Squadrons across the state in a number of communities and would love to see more Squadrons chartered, so if you are looking for an organization to serve veterans and their families and enjoy the camaraderie of others, we would love to have you among us.
