Summary

The resolution recognizes the auxiliary’s long history of service since 1919 and its mission of supporting and advocating for U.S. military members, veterans, and their families, as well as supporting The American Legion.
The measure also notes the centennial celebration planned for October 11, 2025, at the Fort Mill American Legion Hall, including a dinner, speakers, and dancing.
