To support the
American Legion programs for veterans, young people, and community
To provide for
today's needs while being advocates for a brighter future
To advance the
understanding of patriotism and responsibility of citizenship
To promote
individual integrity and family values
To ensure as volunteers, that Auxiliary members continue to be the leaders in all that is good in this nation today, tomorrow and for generations to come through serving others first and not self.
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.
