Twin Cities Platoon

Event overview

Join members of the Minneapolis 1st and St. Paul 1st Platoons for a viewing of The Telling Projects She Went To War; an autobiographical performance by four female veterans, all of whom experienced significant combat experience. Their stories speak to and for many more women whose roles put them in the line of fire. Join us for this opportunity to understand and acknowledge the distinctive and important roles women have played on the battlefield. All are welcome, regardless of gender or military experience. There is an audience engagement portion following the performance. Following the performance, there will be an opportunity to talk about and digest the performance, while digesting some wonderful Thai food, across the street at Kindhee Thai. We have purchased 10 tickets, and if we have more expressed interest, then we will purchase more. We ask that if you sign up you attend, and if you are unable to attend you please contact the host of this event so that the tickets can be made available for other interested parties.

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.
