National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans

Event overview

America cares deeply for its veterans. Each and every day, volunteers and Department of Veterans Affairs employees alike provide compassionate and devoted care for those who "have borne the battle." As we have done for many years, this February, Americans will participate in the National Salute to Veteran Patients by visiting and volunteering at VA medical centers. This year's National Salute is Feb. 16th, 2017, and we encourage members of the Honolulu 1st Platoon to take part in this effort to honor our hospitalized veterans. The National Salute is a great time for citizens to get to know their local VA facilities and the veterans who receive care from the VA. The VA is more than just buildings in a community. Over 350,000 people serve veterans at the 1,200-plus health care facilities across the country every day. The valuable partnerships with volunteers strengthen the bond with the veterans we care and provide services for. So come on out and show your support...and let these heroes know that YOU care!

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.
