Year after year, the organization continues to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom by maintaining memorials to their service and sharing their history with our nation's youth so that what our veterans have done for America will not be forgotten; and
The Ladies Auxiliary VFW supports the troops currently deployed overseas. Its 500,000 members represent the families of those who have served or are currently on foreign soil protecting our freedom; and
Members volunteer nearly 2 million hours in Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and other hospitals throughout our nation. The organization also provides awards and scholarships to students based on their expressions of patriotism through art, speech, and volunteerism; and
The 2013-2014 National President is rallying Ladies Auxiliary members behind the theme, "Keeping America's Veterans & Families Strong." The freedoms and liberties we are blessed to enjoy are a direct result of the courage, valiant service, and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform; now
