Event overview

Join Us on September 7th for a Day of Service and Remembrance

We invite you to join us as we honor the bravery and dedication of those who have served and sacrificed for our country. On September 7th, we will gather to clean and maintain 11 acres of sacred grounds, paying tribute to our nation's veterans.

Our tasks will include cleaning graves, cutting vines from fences, trimming trees, and placing flags on veterans' graves. Additionally, we may replace grave markers to ensure that every veteran's legacy is preserved and respected.

This is more than just a day of service—it's a powerful act of gratitude and remembrance. By joining us, you'll uphold the values of service and show respect for those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom. Together, we'll reflect on the resilience and unity that emerged from the tragedy of 9/11 and make a meaningful impact in our community.

Let's honor our veterans and commemorate the patriotism that unites us all. Your participation will make a difference.

Register today to participate and help us make a lasting impact!

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.
