Service Project

Park Day at the Monocacy National Battlefield

April 06, 2019

08:30 AM - 03:00 PM EDT

Washington, DC Platoon

Event overview

The Mission Continues and The Wounded Warrior Project will join forces with the American Battlefield Trust to take part in Park Day at the Monocacy National Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland. Park Day is an annual event that brings history enthusiasts and volunteers together in an effort to help keep our nation’s heritage not only preserved, but pristine. Since 1996, the American Battlefield Trust has sponsored Park Day, an annual hands-on preservation event to help Civil War and now Revolutionary War & War of 1812 battlefields and historic sites take on maintenance projects large and small. After taking part in service projects across the battlefield in the morning, TMC and WWP volunteers will come together to enjoy each other’s fellowship over a catered lunch and to learn more about each other’s programs and services, as well as more about the battlefield itself. Participants will rally at the Visitor’s Center at 8:30 AM on Park Day and then turn to on projects throughout the morning prior to concluding with a fine lunch.

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.
