Come join us at picturesque Governors Island for memorial BBQ on 9/13 overlooking the Statue of Liberty and the Freedom Tower to remember 9/11. We will remember that fateful day and celebrate the values that untied us to meet the challenges that day brought us with our friends. In order to get in the island you will need to take the ferry from either Manhattan or Brooklyn. Tickets must be acquired online. The ferry is free for former and active service members or if you get on the ferry before noon. It's only 3 dollars otherwise.

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.
