Districts and Presidents
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. Like the Legion, the
Auxiliary's interests have broadened to encompass the entire community.
The American Legion Auxiliary is the world's largest women's patriotic service organization.
Through its nearly 10,500 Units located in every state and some foreign countries, the
Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with
The American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and her ideals.
The Department of Mississippi has 87 units, one of which chartered during the 2008-09 year.
With membership more than 5,000 strong, Mississippi has a long history of dedicated
service to veterans and our communities. (Click here for history timeline.)
The Department is divided into nine districts, listed below (name and Unit number).
Following our President's theme, "Plant a Seed for ALA and Help it Grow," we will be sowing
seeds of membership and service. Each District President selected a flower to represent
their respective district and will use it throughout the year in membership development.
