Good Deed Award for son of deployed soldier for holding down the home front

Children & Youth

The Children & Youth program emphasizes protecting, caring for, and supporting children and youth, particularly those of veterans’ and military families.

To recognize and reward the positive actions of our children and youth, the American Legion Auxiliary has two special national awards bestowed to youth under the age of 18. These youth are nominated by their units:

  • The Youth Hero Award recognizes youth who perform a heroic act of physical bravery.

  • The Good Deed Award is for youth who contribute in a special way to society through community service.

  • The Kids of Deployed are Heroes 2 (KDH2) is an initiative honoring military children who may be experiencing a separation from one or both parents, whether deployed to a war zone, having a short tour or on an extended temporary duty assignment.

     The American Legion Auxiliary Children & Youth program strives to support and promote the Children & Youth Program of The American Legion.

    Important Dates:

    Purple Up! Day for Military Kids is April 15.

    Unit Award: Most Outstanding Unit Children & Youth Program (per division) Send to national division chairman postmarked or emailed by 5 p.m. EST on June 1.
