AUXILIARY - American Legion Post #40

    Founded in 1919, the American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women's patriotic service organization.  The American Legion Auxiliary’s mission 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.  Auxiliary members exemplify Service Not Self through countless volunteer hours, programs, conferences and an increased presence in Washington, D.C.

OUR MISSION

    We know that freedom isn’t free.  For some of us, the sacrifices still have a sting.  It is from this place of appreciation that we work to protect our country’s founding values and to honor those who put their lives on the line for us.  We do that by telling others about the significance of respecting our flag as a symbol of our great nation.  And we do that by encouraging all Americans to live out their patriotism with a sense of pride for this land we call home.

    Coming home may be the end of one journey for many of our veterans; it is also the beginning of a new journey to transition to a “new normal.”  At the core of the purpose and service of the American Legion Auxiliary is to initiate, sponsor, and participate in programs and services that assist and enhance the lives of veterans and their families, ensuring restoration and/or transition to normally functioning lives physically, mentally, socially, and vocationally.  Auxiliary members are passionate about providing care and comfort to our heroic U.S. service members who are so highly deserving of everything we can possibly do for them.
