The goal of the Auxiliary's Americanism program is to educate every citizen

on the fundamentals of American government, the Bill of Rights

and the value of active, informed involvement in the home,

in the Auxiliary organization and in the community.

The National Auxiliary's Americanism program

promotes patriotism and responsible citizenship

and strives to uphold and promote

American ideals and the principles of democracy.

Most successful Americanism programs are cooperative efforts

between an Auxiliary Unit and its community.

Contributions donated to the Spirit of Youth Fund

by individuals, organizations and members' estates,

benefit young people through such programs

as the Americanism Youth Conference

at Freedom's Foundation and scholarships.

The Citizens Flag Alliance is an

apolitical, non-partisan confederation

of organizations and individuals

who wish to protect the United States flag

from acts of physical desecration.

The Citizens Flag Alliance's goal is to pass a Constitutional amendment

prohibiting flag desecration.

The American Legion Auxiliary joined this effort in 1994

due to its belief that the US flag is unique,

deserving proper respect, care and protection.
