Earth Month: Rooted In Service with the Historic Greenwood Cemetery

Come together with The Mission Continues' St. Louis Platoon on April 26, 2025 for its National Day of Service for Earth Day at Greenwood Cemetery to make a meaningful impact in our community.

This is your chance to experience the camaraderie and teamwork from working alongside veterans and community members. Whether you’re a veteran or not, you’ll gain a unique perspective on service as we all unite to give back to under-resourced communities.

Through your efforts, you'll help foster a sense of purpose, connection, and growth among those who have served our country. Report for duty in your community and be part of something bigger. Serve at home and make a difference where it matters most as we will honor the resting place of those interred there by removing trash, trimming the grass, cleaning the headstones, and completing light landscaping projects. On top of that, we will demolish a damaged pergola and make preparations for the installation of a new one.

Feel free to pass this invitation on to your friends, family, and co-workers. This is a family-friendly event with something for everyone to do, so feel free to bring children.

Drinks and lunch will be provided.

Thanks for your support in advance!

Charlie Mike!
