DETACHMENT OF COLORADO CELEBRATING OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Throughout this year, the Sons of The American Legion are celebrating our history. In 1932, The American Legion created the Sons of The American Legion. The first Squadron charter was issued to Indianapolis number 133 in 1933. Denver Squadron 1 was chartered on February 28, 1934. In 1972, the National Sons of The American Legion was reorganized into the current national and state structures. In 1967, The American Legion Department of Colorado authorized the Detachment of Colorado. The first meeting of the Sons of The American Legion Detachment of Colorado elected Terry Kelley Commander on January 21, 1968. The Sons Nationally and in Colorado will celebrate our history throughout the year. The Detachment has 75^th Anniversary Pins available for a $5 donation to The American Legion National Emergency Fund. The Department Public Relations Committee is collecting ideas for our celebration. Send your activities and ideas to Jim Gelwicks, PR Chairman, jgelwicks@western.edu.
