ALA Unit 114 Barrington, NH

ALA History

After World War 1 was won, the men and women of the armed forces banded together to form the American Legion so that they can continue to serve their country during peacetime.

Of course, the women of those families also wanted to serve. The ALA was founded Nov. 10, 1919, as an affiliate of The American Legion, and historically has been composed of women associated with male service members. Today we are comprised of both male and female associates of those who served.
