To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; 

To maintain law and order; 

To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; 

To preserve the memories and incidents of our associations during all wars; 

To inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; 

To combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; 

To make right the master of might;

To promote peace and goodwill on earth; 

To safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom, and democracy; 

To participate in and contribute to the accomplishment of the aims and purposes of The American Legion; 

To consecrate and sanctify our association by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

For nearly a century, The American Legion Family, which includes The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and Sons of The American Legion, has been steadfast in support of our nation’s military. Our members promote patriotism, responsible citizenship and national security while educating youth and advocating for veterans’ rights. While members of The American Legion Family are individually unique, collectively we are a multi-million member powerhouse of caring advocates dedicated to service. 

In the spirit of Service Not Self, the mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion and honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home and abroad.
