SAL 50th convention coin to be combination of submitted designs

The Sons of The American Legion’s 50th Commemorative Convention Committee has opted to use a number of submitted designs for the challenge coin celebrating the milestone convention.

SAL PNC Joe Gladden, the committee chairman, said the committee is using pieces from several designs and concepts to create the challenge coin.

“We are going to place everyone that submitted a design in a drawing and the winner will receive two tickets to the (convention) banquet,” Gladden said. The two tickets have a total value of $100. The winner will be notified.

The SAL 50th National Convention is scheduled for Aug. 26-28 in Milwaukee, with the banquet scheduled for Aug. 27.
