For the third consecutive year, the Sons of The American Legion set a new record for membership.
The SAL finished 2025 with 404,941 members. That’s a 1.94% increase over 2024’s final membership of 397,243 members.
Since 1983, the first year of accurate membership numbers, the SAL membership has increased every year except two — in 2020 and 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We thank all of our members for continuing to support The American Legion Family through your membership and squadron-level efforts.
We also congratulate the 25 Detachments that set all-time high membership in 2025. Check them out at https://www.legion.org/information-center/news/sons/2026/january/sal-ends-2025-with-new-membership-record.
