The American Legion Auxiliary

Together, We Make a Difference.​

The American Legion is committed to helping our country’s veterans. That help may come in the form of monetary assistance, career and education resources, donated goods, disaster relief, volunteerism, or even just respect and camaraderie.

When you join The American Legion, you will receive updates on opportunities, events, and resources available to you, your family, and your community.  You’ll enjoy discounts on products and services from affiliated vendors across the country. And perhaps most importantly, you’ll stand proudly with your fellow United States Veterans, supporting them in new meaningful ways, and help preserve the values and liberties you helped fight for in your military career.
