Founded in 1919 during the first National Convention of The American Legion, the ALA has grown to be one of the largest veterans support organizations. Patriotism and veterans advocacy are very important to our Cherry Hill NJ American Legion Post 372 Auxiliary Unit and we’ve been serving, educating, and giving to America’s finest — our military. We answer the call of Service Not Self.
