Event overview

We will be assisting the Department of Veteran Affairs, National Cemetery Association by setting up for their Memorial Day Ceremony.

The ceremony takes place on Monday, May 29th, 2023, but we will be meeting at the cemetery on Saturday, May 27, 2023. Our goal is to improve the community space for the ceremony by placing flags throughout the cemetery.

We would love to have you come out to the event and show appreciation for those veterans who are no longer with us.

You can pull into the cemetery, and we will rendezvous at the flag pole at 0830.

We look forward to seeing you there.

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.
