Event overview

“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' ” - Martin Luther King, Jr. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** Come out and join us on January 17th, 2026 for a day of service as we honor Martin Luther King Jr's legacy of service by assisting Wreaths Across America and the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery remove all of those wonderful wreaths we honored those laid to rest there with just a couple of weeks ago. We will meet outside the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery visitor's center at 8:30am. We will be working with other volunteers to remove the wreaths from each grave site and moving them to the curb where they will be picked up and disposed of. The weather can often be unpredictable this time of year so please plan ahead and dress accordingly. We look forward to seeing you there!

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.
