on the national and local levels, focusing on three major areas: veterans, young people and the community.

The Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace and continues to stand firmly behind America today, just as it did when the organization was first founded. The American Legion Auxiliary has conceived and implemented hundreds of programs for veterans, their families, young people and the community. Many programs such as Girls State and Girls Nation have been expanded, creating commonly accepted institutions within the community and nation.
