Wreaths Across America - Kansas City Platoon and CarMax

Join the Kansas City Platoon and CarMax on Saturday, December 14th, at 11:00 AM, for a meaningful Wreaths Across America event at the National WWI Museum (2 Memorial Drive, Kansas City, MO). Together, we will honor and remember our veterans by laying wreaths and speaking their names aloud—a powerful way to reflect on their legacy.

Meet outside the museum 15 minutes prior to the ceremony beginning at 11:00 AM. This event offers a chance to connect with fellow veterans and community supporters, share stories, and reflect on the mission of the Kansas City Platoon.

We hope to see you there, and we hope you get involved!

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.
