Author: American Legion Auxiliary Department of South Carolina
We are the male and female spouses, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and direct and adopted female descendants of members of The American Legion. Some of us are veterans ourselves. We are supporting the American Legion, the Sons of the American Legion, and ALL veterans of the military. Whether we were juniors or whether we joined later in life, we all joined for the same reason, to help those around us in need. We answer the call of Service Not Self! We are the American Legion Auxiliary. And we make a difference. You’ll find us in more than 8,000 local communities in the USA and in foreign countries. Founded in 1919 during the first National Convention of The American Legion, the ALA has grown to be one of the largest veterans support organizations. And we’d love for you to be part of our mission outreach. The American Legion Auxiliary’s declaration -- the story of who we are, what we do, and why we matter -- We are the American Legion Auxiliary. We are called to serve. We respect our country and the service of those who defend our freedoms. We are loyal to our United States Constitution and to those who protect it. We are humbled by the courage of our veterans and their families. We are alone, yet we stand together. We are daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers. We are family. We are of every color. We are of every faith. We are of every age. We are anyone and everyone. We are common and extraordinary. We are citizens. We live in small towns. We live in suburbs. We live in cities. We work in fields, in factories, in warehouses, in offices, and at home. We are a community. We help one another. We love our flag and all that it stands for. We are many. We are one. We are the American Legion Auxiliary. A Community of Volunteers Serving Veterans, Military, and their Families. We commit ourselves to the ideal: Service, Not Self.
