What is the difference between the Auxiliary and other veterans organizations?
The American Legion Auxiliary, although not the first such organization, is the largest patriotic women’s service organization in the world. Affiliated with The American Legion and chartered by Congress in 1920, the Auxiliary is a veterans’ service organization with volunteer representation in all 173 VA Medical Centers. Nearly one million Auxiliary members in nearly 11,000 American communities provide a rich and varied resource pool of ability, talent and leadership experience.
