Website Guidelines
Adopted October 1996, Revised May 1999
by the National Executive Committee
-
Squadrons and Detachments are
encouraged to set up and maintain Web pages promoting the Sons of The American
Legion, provided they follow a few simple guidelines.
-
No individual should maintain
a Web Home Page representing any Sons of The American Legion Squadron,
District or Detachment without the knowledge and consent of that Squadron,
District or Detachment and its sponsoring Post or Department.
-
The person who places a Home
Page on the Web supporting and/or promoting the Sons of The American Legion
is responsible for notifying the National Headquarters of the Sons of The
American Legion in writing of such page's existence and providing the National
Headquarters with the new Home Page's URL.
-
When using emblems of the Sons
of The American Legion, The American Legion, and/or The American Legion
Auxiliary, be sure to use a high-quality graphic. Several pages already
exist which utilize quality scans of the emblem. You may wish to ask permission
to download a copy of theirs if your own scan is of questionable quality.
-
All Web pages related to the
Sons of The American Legion must contain a link to the S.A.L. Home Page
(found at http://www.sal.legion.org
) and The American Legion Home Page (found at http://www.legion.org
).
-
It's recommended that Home Pages
contain one or more links to other Squadrons' Home Pages(this is recommended
as a courtesy, not a requirement).
-
Web Home Pages should minimize
use of the abbreviation "S.A.L." All efforts should be made to spell out
the organization's true name, the Sons of The American Legion.
-
Web pages promoting the Sons
of The American Legion must not contain commercial advertisements or for-profit
promotional plugs or links to such pages/sites.
-
Web pages related to the Sons
of The American Legion must not contain any nude or pornographic images
or otherwise objectionable material or links to pages containing such material.
Sons of The American Legion
Home Pages should contain information pertaining to local, state and/or
national programs and projects as well as links to pages that give detailed
information on the programs, goals, and ideals of The American Legion and
the Sons of The American Legion.
