Patriotism
is a personal commitment for
American Legion Auxiliary members. We place great importance on
community involvement and responsible citizenship. The
We
would love to have you come to our meeting and
learn more about Unit 91. Please
call President Tori Nobles at 363-0467 for
more information.
The American Legion Auxiliary is the world's largest women's
patriotic service organization. It has over 10,000 Units located in
every state and some foreign countries. 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.
Auxiliary members are wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, and
great-granddaughters of our courageous veterans. Some members are
veterans themselves who now work in civilian life in hundreds of
volunteer programs.
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.
