OUR STORY

For nearly every man in World War I who endured the dangers and hardships of camp, shore, and battlefront, there was a woman serving at home to help make possible America's victory - his wife, mother, sister, daughter, or granddaughter.

The war was born, and the men and women of the armed forces banded together in The American Legion to carry forward their services to the country in peacetime. It was only natural that the women of their families should desire to continue to serve them. The result was the American Legion Auxiliary, the largest and most influential organization of its kind in the world today.
