Sons of the American Legion
The American Legion Auxiliary is a separate entity from the American Legion that share the same values. Composed of spouses, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, and sisters of American war veterans. Founded in 1919, the ALA is dedicated to serving veterans, military, and their families.
American Legion Riders chapters are well known for their charitable work, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children's hospitals, schools, veterans homes, severely wounded servicemembers and scholarships. Since 2006, Riders nationwide have participated in The American Legion Legacy Run to annually raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund, established to provide scholarships to children of U.S. military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001.
The Sons of the American Legion is a patriotic service organization formed on September 12–15, 1932. The S.A.L. is made up of male descendants of people who served in the United States Armed Forces during times specified by the American Legion.
Charles L. Futch was a veteran from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, who moved to Sebastian, Florida.
He was a Purple Heart and Air Medal recipient.
The Futch family graciously donated the home and land, which has become our American Legion Post 189, in Sebastian.
Thank you to all of the Flutch family members.
