Event overview

Le'ts welcome our vets with a BIG BLUE hug... Honor Flights recognizes the bravery, determination and patriotism of our nation’s senior war veterans with a one-of-a-kind journey to Washington, D.C. The trip is only one day, but the experience is life-changing” On Saturday November 2, 2019 TMC will join Team Rubicon (TR) at the National Marine Corps Museum to greet approximately 75 WWII and Korean War Veterans will be arriving from Southern Virginia to tour the National Museum of the Marine Corps and the DC Memorials. Join us as TMC/TR members welcome these veterans to the National Museum of the Marine Corps. For most they have no idea they will be welcomed by cheering crowds!! The event is emotional and has been known to bring a tear or two the veterans and maybe even a greeter or two. Immediately following the welcoming event, you are free to walk through the Museum with these veterans. In many cases, you will have the opportunity to hear their firsthand accounts of their time in service. There is also a docent lead tour at 1000 for those interested. Admission to the Museum is free. Please arrive NLT 8:15 AM to ensure we are ready to greet the vets upon their arrival. All family and friends are welcome

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
