The Sons of the American Legion was established in September of 1932 as a support organization for male descendants of people who served in the United States Armed Forces during times specified by the American Legion.

The Ron Asby North Cobb American Legion Post 304 chapter of the S.A.L., Squadron 304, would like to honor our fathers who served in the United States Armed Forces. We have decided to do so by putting their photos and stories up on our website.

Squadron 304 wants to say Thank You for all you have done for each one of your sons and the United States of America. If not for our Fathers there would be no The Sons of the American Legion. God Bless them all.

Thank you

Danny Townsend
SAL Commander Squadron 304
