OUR PURPOSE
TO DEFEND AND TEACH the principles of democracy
TO UPHOLD the law of the land
TO FOSTER patriotism
TO VENERATE AND SERVE our veterans
TO INSTILL a sense of obligation to the community, state and nation
TO GUARD the basic freedoms of religion, expression and choice
TO SUPPORT the work of The American Legion
TO CONTINUE OUR ASSOCIATION with devotion for service to God and Country
The American Legion Auxiliary has been around for a long time - over seventy-five years,
in fact. If each of our one million members were asked what the Auxiliary does, what would she say?
Many would talk about the millions of hours of volunteer time we give to assist
veterans at home, in hospitals, and in the field. And, they would be right.
Others would tell about the millions of dollars donated to worthy causes around
the world and in our own communities. Right again!
Some would stress the community service work we do and the thousands of special
projects we have funded to assist families and children across the nation. And, they would be right as well!
And of course, everyone would mention our poppies - those little red crepe paper
flowers made by and for hospitalized veterans - and the many thousands we distribute every Memorial Day.
