Auxiliary Legislative Program
Auxiliary members serve as grassroots advocates for flag protection, veterans, today's servicemembers, active-duty military and their families
American Legion Auxiliary members work to keep veterans' issues in front of legislators, strengthening our mission to serve veterans, active-duty military and their families.
Each year, the Auxiliary convenes its Washington, D.C. Conference in conjunction with The American Legion’s annual meeting in our nation’s capital to review The American Legion’s legislative priorities and advise members how to be better advocates for those issues with their own state’s Congressional legislators. Armed with information and enthusiasm, Auxiliary members “take to The Hill” to make their voices heard. The Legislative program periodically provides members with specific reasons to contact their legislators and provides them with summaries about issues of importance to our veterans. Learn More
The Faces of Freedom | Our Veterans Six veterans who fought for and won our freedom
Young men and women of every generation have answered the nation’s call to serve. They exchanged the knickers, leather jackets, jeans, and T-shirts of their youth for the uniform of a United States servicemember.
From George Washington’s Continental Army to today’s all-volunteer force, the defense of our country has produced a class of citizens who share a unique perspective on the price of liberty. They are the warriors who stand between us and any threat to our way of life. They are the Faces of Freedom, the veterans who served at home and abroad, in peacetime and war.

Honoring Their Service Buttons
Show your appreciation for a special veteran in your life
The 2011-2012 American Legion Auxiliary National Membership team is excited to present the theme for the administrative year: Honoring Their Service. In support of this concept, the Membership team is creating custom buttons for Auxiliary members with a photo of a special veteran in their life. It can be any photo—a military photo, a candid current shot or a favorite image in any environment.
We hope you’ll help us spread the wonderful work of our organization while using our special veteran connection to engage new members.
