WHO WE ARE

We are the American Legion Auxiliary unit attached to the Robert E Coulter, Jr, Post 1941 in La Grange, Illinois, and part of an international organization founded in 1919 by women whose family members were veterans returning home from World War I. Members of the American Legion Auxiliary are spouses, mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters of veterans and active duty members of the United States Armed Forces. Some of us have also served in the US military ourselves.

HOW WE SERVE OUR COMMUNITY

In addition to our family link to military service, we share a commitment to making our communities better places to live through programs that support veterans and military families and teach young people about good citizenship. Nationwide, the American Legion Auxiliary counts nearly 800,000 members serving in more than 10,000 communities. Here in La Grange, our projects focus on supporting veterans receiving treatment at Hines Veterans Affairs Medical Center, helping fund Fisher House on the Hines VA campus where families of veterans receiving treatment can stay free of charge, funding scholarships for the children of veterans, and organizing educational and community service events for young people in the La Grange area. We would love to have you join us!
