| Membership in the Auxiliary is limited to women who have direct personal connection with service in World Wars I and II, and the Korean or Vietnam War, or conflicts in Grenada, Lebanon, Panama or the Persian Gulf War. This service is through a member of one's own immediate family who served in the Armed Forces during those wars or conflicts, or through one's own service with the Armed Forces. Upon establishment of eligibility, such women may become members of a local Unit of the Auxiliary such as our Daniel-Jeffers Auxiliary Unit 247. A member of a local Unit is also a member of the Department and the National Organization, just as a citizen of Poolesville is also a citizen of Maryland and of the United States. By payment of dues to our Unit, you are also contributing to the support of the Department and National Organization.
