About Us
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 our communities
and veterans, and raises millions of dollars to support our own programs - this
is all accomplished with volunteers! The Auxiliary is much more than the name implies
as we have achieved our 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.
Through our nearly 12,000 units located in every state and some foreign countries,
the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and
peace. We are as solidly behind America today as we were when the Auxiliary was
founded in 1920. In 1919, at the very first National Convention of The American
Legion, it was agreed that the organization's purpose could not be properly served
without the aid and dedication of each member's family. Membership in the Auxiliary
is open to Legionnaires' wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, granddaughters and
grandmothers. Today, we are recognized as the most influential patriotic women's
organization in the world, but our success has not changed our purpose. We join
hands with The American Legion to serve God and Country as a family and that bond
will never be broken.
