The Citizen Flag Alliance's goal is to pass a Constitutional amendment making it illegal to publicly desecrate the flag. The American Legion Auxiliary joined this effort in 1994 because they believe the flag is unique and it deserves respect, care and protection. The fund, established in 1969, is supported by contributions from Auxiliary Units and members. It provides temporary emergency financial assistance to Auxiliary members who have exhausted all other personal and community resources. For members who find themselves suddenly single, deserted, divorced, or widowed, with no skills to support themselves or their families, the Displaced Homemakers Fund provides immediate aid to help the member acquire new job skills through schooling or job training.
Auxiliary members feel an obligation to preserve the history and traditions of their organization.
The Cavalcade of Memories was established in 1972 at the Auxiliary's Indianapolis Headquarters to house valuable, historical keepsakes collected and contributed by different Departments throughout the years. Today, more than 75 year's worth of Auxiliary memorabilia is on display in the Cavalcade and throughout National Headquarters. The Auxiliary's Children and Youth program provides care and strives to improve conditions for all children. The program works to preserve the integrity of the family unit and takes a realistic approach to the needs of children by considering the physical and spiritual, as well as the emotional and educational aspects, of each situation. The Children and Youth program cooperates with many other public and private community agencies and organizations and supports essential legislation for children at the national, state, and local levels.
