SAL_OH_2024_Officers_Certification_Form

The file above is a fillable Adobe PDF document and it helps if you can fill it in electronically. If you have to complete it on paper, please print clearly to avoid mistakes in recording the details in the membership database.

Reminder: All officers must be certified by May 1st each year to be properly recognized at the beginning of the new term (effective this year with the Post-Convention Detachment Executive Committee Meeting on Sunday, May 21st in Marietta, Ohio).

The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within The American Legion that exists to honor the service and sacrifice of Legionnaires. The S.A.L. is made up of males of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the U.S. 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 comprise 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.

Commander’s Homecoming Bottle Raffle

The Auction began in 1988 at Detachment Commander Terry Kettering’s Homecoming when a bottle of Canadian Club was bought by Dale Hartley. Since then, it has been auctioned at each Detachment Commander’s Homecoming with all funds being donated to The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation. In 1991 at Kent Blanchard’s Homecoming, the original bottle was retired in grand style and a new, gold-plated bottle of Canadian Club was presented to continue the tradition.
