American Legion Auxiliary women are women of action. When we see a need, we step in to meet it. When we determine that a greater effort is required, we collaborate with others. When an issue requires a legislative solution, we advocate for it. When a person's service is noteworthy, we honor it. To prepare the next generation for service, we include them. With some 850,000 members and 9,500 units across the U.S., the mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military and their families, both at home and abroad.

For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace, and security.
