Flag Placement at Avenue of Flags

May 22, 2026

06:30 AM - 09:00 AM MDT

El Paso Platoon

Event overview

Join Travis Manion Foundation’s El Paso Service Platoon as we honor our nation’s heroes by preparing for the upcoming Memorial Day Ceremony.

Together, we will raise 300 flags across the cemetery grounds, each measuring 5x9 feet and mounted on 11-foot poles. Due to the size and weight of the flags, it takes teamwork—typically three volunteers per flag—to raise them safely and efficiently. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome, so come ready to work together and make a meaningful impact!

Parking Instructions:
Please park on the right side of the street throughout the cemetery to help keep roads clear and accessible for all volunteers and visitors.

Be part of this powerful tribute and help us create a moving display of remembrance and respect.

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.
