Men and women who, throughout our history, have embraced sacrifice of self to serve their country and protect our freedoms. On the 11th hour…of the 11th day…of the 11th month…the fighting of World War I ended in 1918. Due to the conclusion of “the War to end all Wars,” November 11th became a universally recognized day of celebration.
The Alamo Chapter assists through fundraising, bringing dollars to those in need within our military community. We educate the local public about our National Defense and economic power that is provided to our community. We continually call out to all who wish to serve through volunteerism; Retirees, Separated Veterans, and Concerned Citizens who are high energy and want to give back to the Giants and Heroes who walk among us. We work to unite our military and civilian communities by working with corporations and businesses big or small, to become a Community Partner, sharing values consistent with what makes our nation strong, relevant, and proud. We continually participate in many programs and events within our community, always trying to connect and make our home a better place for all to live.
AUSA is open to everyone, whether you have a relationship with the U.S. Army or would simply like to offer your support to our Soldiers.

Community businesses and defense industry companies are also vital and contributing members of AUSA.
