Greetings from the Department President
Welcome to the Department of Mississippi of the American Legion
Auxiliary--the largest patriotic women's organization in the world.
The American Legion Auxiliary is celebrating it's 90th anniversary this
year. From the early years of developing a program to meet the urgent
needs of World War I veterans, their widows and orphans, to the
present year of serving National Guard and Reserve military families,
our organization has met new challenges and remained ready to
serve.
With more than 900,000 members across the United States and
beyond, we have been able to provide 10 million hours of volunteer services over the past year.
In communities around our state and across the nation, our vital programs enrich the lives of
veterans, especially those hospitalized in 171 VA Medical Centers across the country.
Auxiliary members believe in the ideals and principles of America’s founding fathers and pledge
to foster patriotism, preserve and defend the Constitution, promote allegiance to God and
Country, and uphold the basic principles of freedom of religion, freedom of expression and
freedom of choice. The Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war
and peace and continues to stand firmly behind America today, as it did when the organization
was first founded.
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you
will join our efforts to serve our veterans and
today's active military.
