About Us
In this world of ours, American Legion
Auxiliary shines as an example of unselfish giving. With almost a
million members from all walks of life, the Auxiliary administers
hundreds of volunteer programs, gives tens of thousands of hours to its
communities and to veterans, and raises millions of dollars to support
its own programs as well as other worthwhile charities familiar to most
Americans. It is all accomplished with volunteers.
The
Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist The American Legion, is much
more than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own
unique identity while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong
to The American Legion. Like the Legion, the Auxiliary's interests have
broadened to encompass the entire community.
The American Legion
Auxiliary is the world's largest women's patriotic service
organization. Through its nearly 10,500 Units located in every state
and some foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of
America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with The
American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and her ideals.
