American Legion Auxiliary
The women of the American Legion Auxiliary make a difference in the
lives of all Americans. They educate children, organize community events
and help our nation's veterans through legislative action and
volunteerism. The Legion Auxiliary is the world's largest women's
patriotic service organization with nearly 1 million members in 10,100
communities. Auxiliary members are a unique group of women, joined in the
fellowship of volunteerism, patriotism and dedication to veterans, young
people and communities.

that person must be a member of The American Legion.
