Chair: Laurie Kuntz (1985)
To support our military and their families. Auxiliary members step up and reach out to help military families during deployments in very practical ways, such as assisting with their needs for child care and lawn work or by providing a listening ear to a spouse. Members do helpful things such as hosting send-off and welcome-home events for our troops, providing them with pocket flags, and showing the gratitude of our nation by providing military families with Blue Star and Gold Star Banners. Auxiliary units are encouraged to partner with other organizations that serve the military, such as local USO affiliates and ROTC/JROTC units. People around the country support our military by wearing RED on Fridays. Remember Everyone Deployed. Another way to show support is Flying your American Flag. |
