Americanism
Members of the VFW Auxiliary are proud of our history of dedication to promoting Americanism. Through Patriotic Education, Citizenship Education and Flag Ettiquette demonstrations, we hope to foster the love of Country within our communities. Through dedicated programs of Loyalty and Patriotism, the VFW Auxiliary shows our gratitude for the dedicated service the Veterans gave on our behalf and for our freedom. Although the weapons of war have changed over the years, the challenge to stand up for what we believe has not. We salute the Veterans and active military who have answered their Country's call to arms. The National Flag represents the living country and is considered to be a living thing, emblematic of the respect and pride we have for our Nation. Our Flag should be displayed proudly in a place of honor.
