The "Secret Santa" program serves an average of 110 young people each Christmas.* The Auxiliary assists American Legion Post #104, the Warren Association of Vietnam Veterans and the Warren Veterans Honor Roll Committee in their annual Veterans Day commemoration and in their Flag Day ceremony, in which an average of 2,000 worn and tattered flags are retired by fire in a dignified, patriotic ceremony. * The Auxiliary raised funds for -- and was and is a major contributor to -- the Warren Veterans Honor Roll, which contains the names of all Warren residents who served during war-time, from the Revolutionary War to Irag and Afghanistan.
