The Sons of the American Legion (SAL) exists to honor the service and sacrifice of legionnaires. Although SAL has its own membership, the organization is not a separate entity, rather, it is assigned to and is a part of the American Legion Post 143. Their mission is to help Post 143 in strenghtening the Legion's four pillars, preserving American traditions and values, improving the quality of life for our nation's children, caring for veterans and their families, and teaching the fundamentals of good citizenship.

Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month beginning at 1800 hrs. at the Carroll County Veterans Building located at:

1790 Stripling Chapel Road

Carrollton, GA 30116
