2014 WDCC Session 1 | American Legion Auxiliary
Channel: AmericanLegionAux
Date: 10/04/2014

For more than 30 years, American Legion Auxiliary members have made their presence known in our nation's capital. Joining fellow members of The American Legion Family, we learn about our veterans' needs and the legislative priorities of The American Legion, then we visit Capitol Hill to encourage our country's lawmakers to pass legislation that protects veterans' rights and provides for their needs.

The mid-year event also provides an opportunity for the organization's leadership to hear from Washington experts on issues relevant to the Auxiliary's mission of serving veterans, the military and their families.
