Greetings Detachment of Kansas! Our year is fast coming to conclusion with our Department Convention the middle of May. It has been a fast year and a great year for me. We are on target to make our 34th year All Time High in membership and are closing fast on my goal for Child Welfare Foundation. I ask all SAL: Squadrons that have not made a contribution to the Child Welfare Foundation to support this worthwhile endeavor. We can all make a difference. I thank all of you that have been able to contribute to CWF. I have been invited to speak at 3rd District Convention and 7th District Convention and am honored to be able to do this. Again I ask all of you to attend your District Conventions and Department Convention in support of the American Legion Family. It is great to have people to step up for officers next year, Sam Sparks who has done a great job with membership this year will be SAL Commander next year and I ask all of you to give your support to this individual. In closing I would like to thank all of the American Legion Family for the support that has been afforded me this year Hopefully I will see all of you in Great Bend.
Yours in service, Steve Ward, Commander, 2011-2012 Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Kansas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Detachment of Kansas Life Membership!

We would like your complete list of officer's but please send in your Commander, Adjutant, Squadron Advisor, and Permanent address. Also it would be helpful if you would include e-mail addresses. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Preamble to the Constitution of the Sons of The American Legion 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 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.
The Emblem
The design of our emblem was taken from the emblem of our parent organization, but is oval in shape so as to be easily distinguished. The star in the center represents our country, and the five points of the star represent the five-point program of the Sons of The American Legion. The Sun in the background represents The Sons of The American Legion and the rays represent the loyalty of membership. The blue of the emblem, like the blue of our flag, stands for justice; The two stars in the blue border stand for freedom and democracy; The wreath below the star is in memory of our comrades, and those of our fathers who willingly gave their lives for their country. The ten points of the emblem represent the ten ideals of every Legion son.
