The American Legion Auxiliary was organized in 1919 to assist The American
Legion and 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. Today, 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.
