Our welcoming membership offers camaraderie in a family-friendly atmosphere. We encourage veterans and their families to participate in our activities.
Additionally, the Post 115 Auxiliary is open to spouses, mothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters of AMVETS members living or any veteran who could have become a member of AMVETS but is now deceased. It is a distinct organization from Post 115 with whom we are proud to frequently partner. The Post 115 Auxiliary is very active and it is routinely recognized at the state and national level.
At many events, you will see both Post 115 members and Post 115 Auxiliary members. We combine to better serve Hays County and central Texas.
Membership in AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary is open to the mothers, wives, widows, grandmothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters of AMVETS and female veterans who are currently serving or who have honorably served in the Armed Forces of the United States, including the National Guard and Reserve components, anytime after September 15, 1940.
For more than 50 years AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary has served veterans and their communities through programs such as John Tracy Clinic (for hearing, impaired and deaf children ages 18 months to 5 years), PAWS With a Cause (who trains Assistance Dogs for people with disabilities), Scholarships, St. Jude’s Hospital for Children, Veterans Affairs Volunteer Services programs (VAVS) and Freedom’s Foundation just to mention a few.
A network of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary members across the country provides a teamwork of support for local volunteers. Volunteering is the heart of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary. Volunteer services are recognized through an extensive awards program both on the department and national level.
The AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary 115 participates with and supports our AMVETS Post 115.
We would like to invite you to become part of our network of volunteers dedicated to serving our Nation’s veterans and the local communities in which they and you reside.
Welcome to the webpage. Hopefully, all your questions regarding the Auxiliary will be answered right here. The who, what, where, why is but a click away.
We were asked and we answered the call of AMVETS Post 115 to form an Auxiliary. We have 23 members currently in the Auxiliary and are recruiting ladies that believe our veterans are worth the effort and want to join us. The more ladies involved in this worthy cause, the more support we can give our Veterans.
Won't you please consider joining this band of sisters needed to carry out our service projects by emailing our membership chairman.
Thank you and I look forward to the friends I haven't met yet.

Because I am fortunate in being able to qualify for membership in AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary; and because I am proud of our affiliation with the parent organization AMVETS, I must always remember that it is my duty as a member –
1. To live up to the meaning of “Auxiliary” which is “to act in support of” or “to support.”
2. To realize that our organization is a subordinate of AMVETS and for that reason I must be careful not to interfere with AMVETS internal organization and politics; and I must never attempt to dominate that organization.
3. To conduct myself in a manner that shall never cast any unfavorable reflection on AMVETS or AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary.
4. To think and act constructively.
5. To accept my duties as a member, a committee member or Chairman, or an officer willingly, and to the best of my ability to do all in my power to promote the Aims and Purposes of our organization.
6. To be courteous at all times; to be considerate of others.
7. To show my interest in our organization by attending all meetings and be on time.
8. To accept the rule of the majority gracefully.
9. To assume leadership in right thinking and action.
10. To respect my officers, my fellow members, and the opinions they may have.
11. To be temperate in my speech, habits, and opinions.
12. To be extremely careful if I am honored by being elected to any office on any level, that the weight of my office is never used to unduly influence the affairs of our organization or of our parent organization, AMVETS.
13. To endeavor to follow all the purposes of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary, as set forth in our Constitution, because by doing so, I am serving all mankind, regardless of race, creed, or color.
14. Finally, believing that the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” applies to us all, do my part to see that equal opportunity is given to each member to contribute to the good of AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary.
