Shelby Unit 82 of The American Legion Auxiliary held an installation ceremony for 2017-2018 officers as part of their monthly meeting June 19, 2017. New officers were installed by Elizabeth ("Lib") Stewart, a Kings Mountain resident and a past National Auxiliary President. Formed in 1919, the American Legion Auxiliary has been dedicated to serving veterans, military, their families, and communities for nearly 100 years. Auxiliary members exemplify Service Not Self through countless volunteer hours, programs, conferences and an increased presence in Washington, D.C. Although things have changed since the American Legion Auxiliary's establishment in 1919, the one thing to remain the same is members' unwavering commitment to honor those who serve.
