Engaging our youth in patriotism

At Auxiliary Unit 91, there are several ways we can support Department Marge Christianson's project.

• Americanism Essay Contest
• Unit Citizenship Awards presented to children and youth who have demonstrated the ideals of the U. S. Constitution
• Bringing Veterans or service members to local schools and youth groups to talk about what their service means to defending the ideals of the Constitution
• Distributing patriotic coloring books for children in primary grades
• Celebrating Constitution Day (also known as Citizenship Day) on September 17, the day set aside each year to commemorate the signing of the U. S. Constitution
• Distributing pocket copies of the U. S. Constitution for school children and/or ALA Junior Members
• Encouraging high school-aged students to use their knowledge of the U. S. Constitution by participating in the American Legion Oratorical Contest
