The Army & Navy Union USA was organized in 1886 and is the oldest, perpetual membership veterans organization in the United States. Its fundamental object is to continue National Defense and National Security. In addition, to promote, foster, encourage and perpetuate fraternal comradeship among all those who have seen service in the armed forces of the United States; to continue the high ideals of Patriotism, Loyalty, Justice and Service to this country and to educate all others in these principles. Equally important is the imperative duty upon every member of upholding, guarding and protecting the honor and integrity of our Constitution, our National Government, our Flag and the principles it represents.
In Yonkers, there were three garrisons of this society:
- Reeke Garrison, ANU & Auxiliary
- Foley Garrison, ANU & Auxiliary
- Kenealy-Kendrick Garrison, ANU & Auxiliary
