Mount Prospect Stories: Helping on the Homefront

When Mount Prospect's soldiers came marching home after serving in World War I, local Auxiliaries answered the call to welcome them home and foster a sense of community.
In this session of Mount Prospect Stories, Emily Dattilo, director of the Mount Prospect Historical Society, discusses ways in which the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Auxiliary and American Legion Auxiliary supported members of the military. Learn more about these groups and the services provided at home and abroad, and how they rallied their neighbors in the decades after World War I and through World War II.
