Event overview

Esteemed Veteran, The Mission Continues PLT615 warmly invites you to Nashville's Veterans Day Parade on November 11, 2023. All veterans are welcome to join us! Our platoon is on a mission to bridge the gap between veterans and the under-resourced communities of Nashville, endeavoring together to enhance educational resources, alleviate food insecurity, and cultivate neighborhood identity, among other community-centered initiatives. Veterans Day holds a revered place in our hearts. This year, we hope you'll resonate with our vision of rallying all service-minded veterans to be part of a movement that transforms communities. Your neighbors look up to your leadership. Your presence in the parade symbolizes the unity and collaborative ethos that underpin our constitutional republic, reflecting our core values and the oath we took to uphold democracy. We encourage you, if serviceable, to don your military attire, gather your family and friends, and march alongside us. Your TMC "blues" are always welcome and any other TMC swag. Together, we'll showcase the positive impact and enduring camaraderie of veterans within our communities. We are eager to honor your service as we stride side by side and strive forward in fostering positive change. November is cold. Bundle up! Please RSVP no later than November 1, 2023.

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.
