Los Angeles Platoon

Event overview

Join our Los Angeles Platoon Leader, Josue Guerrero, as he completes his 8th year of service with The Mission Continues. This will be his final event as a service platoon leader. We want to honor those veterans who laid down their lives for us to live a full and fruitful life with a holiday wreath placement on Saturday, December 17th, at the Los Angeles National Cemetary.

If you would like to join us for coffee and donuts before the 9:00 am official start, you are welcome to park across the street by the UCLA baseball field parking lot at 8:30 am, meet the team, and walk over together. Josue will be wearing a Mission Continues Blues shirt.

It may be chilly, so come dressed in layers. The Mission Continues has been generous enough to donate 100 wreaths to Wreaths Across America for placement at this cemetery.

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.
