Welcome

For nearly every man and woman that has gone to war, who endured the danger and hardships of camp, shore and battlefront, there was a woman serving at home to help make possible American's victory - a wife, mother, sister, daughter or granddaughter.

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

The establishment of an Auxiliary to The American Legion was provided for by the first National Convention of the American Legion in 1919. The first National Convention of the Auxiliary was held in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1921. At that time the name ''American Legion Auxiliary'' was adopted and the first national officers elected.

After the women of World War II families became eligible, the enrollment rose rapidly to a record of 1,001,545 in 1955, and since has remained well above the 9000,000 mark. The number of local Units of the Auxiliary is approximately 10,500. The Auxiliary's National Headquarters is located in Indianapolis, Indiana
