American Legion
The American Legion is the place for you to help your military family them to help you. Founded in 1918, it is the largest veteran’s organization in the United States with over 3 million members.
We are veterans just like you. We care about America, our fellow veterans, our families and our children. As members of our Post we continue to serve our God, our Country and our Community.
Our Legionnaires participate in many community activities such as parades, memorials, dedications, etc.
Legion Auxiliary
Founded in 1919, The American Legion Auxiliary has nearly 1 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 Americans. It is all accomplished with volunteers.
While originally organized to assist The American Legion, the Auxiliary 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.
The American Legion Auxiliary is made up of the male and female spouses, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and direct and adopted female descendants of members of The American Legion. Along with The American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and its ideals.
Even if the qualifying Veteran is deceased you may join the Auxiliary, even if the qualifying Veteran was not a member of The American Legion when living.
