Message from the Squadron 6 SAL commander:

Welcome to Squadron 6 of the Sons of the American Legion at Post 6.

Our active group of Sons support Post 6 and do many things in the community. The young people at Epworth Children’s Home are very dear to our hearts.  Annually we do a fishing outing and a Christmas event for the kids. Our partner in this effort is Coach Dawn Staley with the USC Gamecocks women’s basketball. 

I invite you to join us and make a difference in a veteran’s life or a young person.
