American Legion Auxiliary The World’s Largest Women’s Patriotic Service Organization
History
Founded in 1919, the American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women's patriotic service organization. The American Legion Auxiliary’s mission 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.
Our Values
Post 331 was chartered in July 13, 1929. Since being chartered, the South Omaha Post 331 has been welcoming VETERANS from all branches of our Armed Forces. Today, we continue to welcome all current military personnel serving our country. Joining our Post enables you to continue serving your God, Country and Community. Our mission is to implement the goals, aspirations, dreams, peace and blessings for our country, friends and families embodied in our preamble.
We help promote the four pillars of The American Legion which are Veterans Affairs, National Defense, Children & Youth and Americanism.
