The American Legion Auxiliary

In this world of ours, the 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.
