Philadelphia Platoon

Event overview

Wreaths Across America is a national non-profit and movement dedicated to ensuring veterans' headstones are adorned with a wreath for the holiday season. Many platoons throughout TMC will be sending platoons to participate in the wreath laying ceremony. There will be a brief ceremony onsite and then wreath laying will begin. Washington Crossing National Cemetery serves as the final resting place for an impressive 16,000 veterans. By the end of the event, every single headstone will have a wreath. The whole event should only take a couple of hours. For more information, please visit Wreaths Across America's website: https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/17127/Overview/?relatedId=150000

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
