| The Auxiliary 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.
Through
its units located throughout Texas, the Auxiliary embodies the
spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace.
