CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY PREAMBLE
|
For God and Country, we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: To uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America; to Maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations during the Great 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. |
In this world of ours, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 318 shines as an example of unselfish giving. With over 260 members from all walks of life and all ages, the Auxiliary administers several volunteer programs, gives thousands of hours to its communities and to veterans, and raises monies to support these programs as well as other worthwhile charities familiar to most Americans. It is all accomplished with volunteers! The Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist The American Legion, is much more than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own unique identity while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong to The American Legion. The Auxiliary is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization. Initially, the Auxiliary was organized by concerned women who took on the day-to-day responsibilities of life when their male family members went across sea during World War I. Aware of the many fatherless families and the needs of returning veterans, Auxiliary women vowed to continue their supportive roles when the veterans of World War I founded The American Legion. Auxiliary members today are wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters of these courageous veterans. Some members are veterans themselves. We are recognized as the most influential patriotic women's organization in the world, but our success has not changed our purpose. |
WHAT DO WE DO |
The Port St. Lucie American Legion Auxiliary Unit 318 was established in 1986 and if each of our members were asked what the Auxiliary does, what would she say? No matter how an Auxiliary member chooses to contribute, you have the opportunity and the means to show your gratitude to the veterans who served our Country and their families in their time of need. Many United States veterans paid a very high price to retain the freedoms that we take for granted. The American Legion Auxiliary makes sure that they are remembered. |
