New officers were installed recently to the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 141.

The American Legion Auxiliary’s mission is to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of American veterans, military and their families, both at home and abroad.

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization

“For God and Country,” the auxiliary advocates for veterans, educates citizens, mentors youths and promotes patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.

The auxiliary meets at the post the third Wednesday of each month at 4 p.m. It’s at 4096 Highway 525 in Langley.

Mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters and grandmothers of a member of the American Legion or a deceased Veteran who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during a war era are eligible to become members. For details, visit the website at www.southwhidbeypost141.org.
