9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance

September 14, 2024

Killeen Platoon

Event overview

Killeen Platoon: Join the Killeen Platoon on September 11th as we honor the lives lost and the spirit of sacrifice from that day with a day of service at Families in Crisis. This project is about more than just giving back; it's about honoring the sacrifices of our Armed Forces and uniting as a community.

What We’ll Do: We will transform an outdoor space into a peaceful oasis and renovate the children’s nursery to create a safe and welcoming environment. Imagine the joy on a child's face as they enter a bright, refreshed play area or the peace families will find in a serene outdoor retreat.

Why Participate? This is a chance to connect with others, reflect on the significance of 9/11, and make a lasting impact in our community. Whether you're a veteran, a family member, or a dedicated community member, your involvement matters. Together, we can honor the past and strengthen Killeen.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something truly special!

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.
