World War I was over. Returned veterans were struggling to obtain proper care and just compensation for their disabled comrades, to gain jobs, to start into civilian lives for themselves, and to prevent the security and freedom of America for which they had fought from being lost in peace. The women of their families wanted to help. To supplement the strength of the newly organized American Legion, the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of the Legionnaires, those of the war dead, and the women veterans, formed The American Legion Auxiliary.
