Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
THE MISSION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY IS TO SUPPORT THE AMERICAN LEGION AND TO HONOR THE SACRIFICE OF THOSE WHO SERVE BY ENHANCING THE LIVES OF OUR VETERANS, MILITARY, AND THEIR FAMILIES, BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
VETERANS AFFAIRS AND REHABILITATION: VA&R MEANS THE COMPLETE RESTORATION OF THE VETERAN AND HIS FAMILY TO NORMAL FUNCTION AND ADJUSTMENT, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, SOCIALLY, AND VOCATIONALLY FOR THE FULLEST POSSIBLE LIFE, COMPATIBLE WITH HIS ABILITIES AND DISABILITIES. THE VA&R WORK OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY INCLUDES BRINGING PHYSICAL COMFORT AND MENTAL CHEER TO VETERANS IN HOSPITALS, AIDING THE DISABLED TO EARN MONEY FOR THE SUPPORT OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND HELPING THEM TO REESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN LIFE. THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY COOPERATES WITH THE AMERICAN LEGION IN ALL ITS ENDEAVORS ON BEHALF OF VETERANS.TO CARRY OUT THE VA&R WORK EFFECTIVELY, A COMPLETE ORGANIZATION EXTENDING FROM THE UNIT TO THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION IS NECESSARY. YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN REHABILITATION HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT SYSTEMATIZING OF THE ACTIVITIES WHICH HAS PROVEN TO BE THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO AID THE DIFFERENT CLASSES OF DISABLED VETERANS. UNIT VA&R WORKERS SHOULD BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND NATIONAL VA&R ORGANIZATIONS AND BE ABLE TO USE THE SERVICES OF THESE GROUPS WHEN NECESSARY. UNITS SHOULD WORK CLOSELY WITH THE VA&R COMMITTEES OF THEIR AMERICAN LEGION POSTS AND WITH OTHER AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITY FROM WHICH AID FOR THE DISABLED IS AVAILABLE.
COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM: COMMUNITY SERVICE EMBRACES ALL ACTIVITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF CONDITIONS OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY UNIT IS LOCATED. IT HAS BEEN A MAJOR ACTIVITY OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AND AUXILIARY SINCE 1926, AND HAS RESULTED IN THE COMPLETION OF A VAST NUMBER OF PROJECTS TO MAKE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES BETTER PLACES IN WHICH TO LIVE. EVERY AUXILIARY UNIT IS EXPECTED TO CARRY OUT OR COOPERATE IN AT LEAST ONE PROJECT FOR COMMUNITY BETTERMENT EACH YEAR.
CHILDREN & YOUTH PROGRAMS: THE PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY'S CHILDREN AND YOUTH PROGRAM ARE IN GENERAL THE SAME AS THOSE OF THE AMERICAN LEGION. ALTHOUGH THE PROGRAM IS DERIVED FROM MANDATES OF THE AMERICAN LEGION, THE AUXILIARY AUGMENTS AND ADDS TO IT THROUGH ITS CONTINUING SUPPORT OF THE OVERALL PROGRAM AS WELL AS THROUGH THE SPONSORSHIP OF SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS AND ACTIVITIES. 1. TO ASSURE CARE AND PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN OF VETERANS ELIGIBLE FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE AMERICAN LEGION. 2.
