🇺🇸 AMERICA 250 — SALUTE TO SERVICE: HONORING OUR KILGORE FIRST RESPONDERS!🇺🇸

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, the Robert Lee Crim American Legion Auxiliary Unit 280 was proud to recognize the dedicated men and women who serve and protect our Kilgore community!

Our members created handmade paracord keychains as part of our America 250 — Salute to Service project, and we wanted to share them with our local first responders as a small token of our appreciation.

One of our talented members designed and built beautiful wooden presentation boxes for the gifts, which included our keychains and handwritten thank-you cards. We were honored to visit with members of the Kilgore Police Department and Kilgore Fire Department to present these gifts and personally express our gratitude.

We also delivered keychains and thank-you cards to our Kilgore EMTs to let them know that their service and dedication are appreciated, too!

To all our first responders, thank you for the important work you do every day for our community. We are grateful for you! ❤️

🌸✌️❤️ Peace, Love, ALA! — Third District Convention ❤️✌️🌸
What a wonderful day with our American Legion Auxiliary family from across the Third District!
Our Meet Your ALA Neighbor activity helped us get to know one another beyond the names of our Units. There was great music, plenty of laughter, a little dancing, and so much positive energy throughout the day. We took care of our District business while making new connections and wonderful memories along the way.
A special thank-you to our District President for leading us through the day's business and bringing our District together. It was a pleasure to be part of such an energetic, enjoyable convention!
One of my favorite comments afterward was that members wanted a copy of the day's playlist! 🎶 That says something about the spirit in the room!
We left with more than business accomplished. We left with new connections, renewed energy, and a reminder that Team ALA is at its best when we work together, support one another, and remember to have a little fun along the way.
Here's to Peace, Love, ALA — and to serving our veterans, our families, and our communities together! ❤️🤍💙

EXCITING NEWS — AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY MEMBERSHIP HAS EXPANDED!
The American Legion Auxiliary has announced new, expanded membership eligibility requirements, opening the door for more members of our Legion Family to join us in serving veterans, military families, and our community.

Under the new eligibility rules, membership may now include eligible:
Grandparents
Parents
Siblings
Spouses
Children and other direct or adopted descendants within two degrees of consanguinity
This is a major change from the previous eligibility rules allowing more qualifying family members of veterans, regardless of gender, to become part of the American Legion Auxiliary.
If your eligibility is based on a living veteran, that veteran generally must be a current member of The American Legion. Eligibility may also be established through a qualifying deceased veteran who served during an eligible period and died in the line of duty or following honorable discharge.
NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO JOIN ROBERT LEE CRIM AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY UNIT 280 KILGORE!

We would love to have you alongside us! There are many ways to participate, and we would be happy to have you join us whenever your time allows.

If you don't have time to attend meetings, volunteer at fundraisers, or take on a committee right now, please remember YOUR MEMBERSHIP MATTERS!

Your membership helps strengthen the voice of The American Legion Family when our Legislative Division goes before Congress to advocate for Veterans and protect the benefits they have earned. Every member adds to that voice—and Congress pays attention to the strength of our membership – over 4 million and counting.

So if you have wondered whether you could really contribute because you don't have the time to be active, please know that simply becoming a member is already a meaningful way to support our Veterans.
