The Clinton American Legion has been active within the community for many years, and are now looking for younger members for their Son's of the American Legion. Tom Reddington, former commander of the Clinton American Legion, hopes to reestablish the program in Clinton.

 

 

Reddington says they are looking for 20-60 year old men to get the organization going. He indicates they need at least 10 people to reform their squadron, and for an idea of what they will be doing, prospective participants can look at other local Son's of the American Legion.

 

 

Reddington indicates the Son's of the American Legion will be able to do service projects much like American Legion members and will have their own budget. He hopes they will eventually assist with programs like Boys and Girls State and American Legion baseball programs.

 

 

Anyone interested in being a member of the upcoming Son's of the American Legion can contact Tom Reddington at (309) 838-4072 or stop by the American Legion post in Clinton at 219 North Elizabeth Street.
