Event overview

Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, our mission is to Remember, Honor and Teach while volunteering for wreath-laying ceremonies at over 2,100 locations in all 50 U.S. states & territories at sea and abroad. Our Veterans honored on this day are those who have served since the Revolutionary War to present day conflicts. Our veterans are devoted sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers and in the Holidays we wish to honor them. OUR CALL TO ACTION IN PUERTO RICO will be celebrating National Wreaths Across America on December 17th in the National Cemetery in Bayamón. Please join us to honor these Veterans by helping us place a wreath in their final laying place on the Island.

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.
