NATIONAL SONS OF LEGION COMMANDER

David Dew Elected Commander

Sons have elected David Dew of Plano, Texas, Harding Blaine Squadron 321 as their newest National Commander at the thirty-ninth National Convention of the Sons of The American Legion, held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, August 27 - 29, 2010. A thirty year member of the Sons of The American Legion, Dew and his wife of seventeen years, Charlie, have four children and six grandchildren - all members of The Legion Family.


David’s membership and service to the Sons of The American Legion spans over thirty years of continuous service for God and Country. He is a Charter and Life member of Harding Blaine Squadron 321, located in Plano, Texas.

David’s eligibility in the Sons of The American Legion is through his father, Hal Ray Dew, who proudly served in the United States Air Force during Korean War.

The American Legion Family is a great part of David’s life. His wife of seventeen years, Charlie, is a member of Unit #321, has served as President Department of Texas and is serving on the Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Committee at the National level. They have four children and six grandchildren, all of which are members of the American Legion Family.

David is retired after twenty-five years as a contractor in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

David has always been active in the programs and activities of the Sons of The American Legion. Service to God, Country and America’s veterans has always been the forefront of David’s years of membership in the Sons. He is not only a Charter member of his Squadron, but was instrumental in starting his District and Divison within the Detachment of Texas. Veterans have always been and will always be his main focus, because without our Veterans there would be no Sons of The American Legion or even an America as we know it.

David also believes in educating our children about America. If children are not taught patriotism at home then we must move forward within the schools to promote the programs of the American Legion.

The American Legion Family is a great part of David’s life; his Detachment, Division, District, Squadron, Post, Unit and Department of Texas has endorsed David L. Dew for the high office of National Commander of The Sons of The American Legion.

“BY THEIR SIDE WITH HONOR AND PRIDE”
