Serving Veterans, Military, and their Families

Who Are We?

For nearly a century, the American Legion Auxiliary has been serving, helping, and meeting the needs of our nation’s veterans, military, and their families—both here and abroad. For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security. 


Patriotism and veterans advocacy are so important to the American Legion Auxiliary that for a century, we’ve been serving, educating, and giving to America’s finest—our military.


We answer the call of Service Not Self. We are the male and female spouses, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and direct and adopted female descendants of members of The American Legion. Some of us are veterans ourselves.


Founded in 1919 during the first National Convention of The American Legion, the ALA has grown to be one of the largest veterans support organizations. And we’d love for you to be part of our mission outreach.


Our Unit 24 American Legion Auxiliary is an active part of Post 24's service, participating, hosting, and supporting the many activities in Alexandria. All current and prospective members are welcome to join Alexandria's American Legion Auxiliary Unit 24's monthly meetings.
