The design of the Son's of the American Legion Emblem was taken from the emblem of the American Legion. It was made in the shape of an oval so as to easily distinguish it from the emblem of the American Legion.

Each part of the emblem is representative of the philosophy of the Sons of the American Legion.

The star in the center represents our country.
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.
The rays represent the loyalty of its 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 memoryof 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.
