Event overview

Let's join the Travis Manion Foundation and the New York City Platoon as we gather with the veteran community for a 3.1-mile ruck from the USS Intrepid to the Vietnam Memorial Wall on Water Street. As part of this tribute, we will receive a folded flag from the USS Intrepid and ruck it to the Vietnam Memorial Wall, where it will be presented to a deserving warrior.

ALL are welcome to join us in this powerful display of gratitude, remembrance, and support. Whether you choose to ruck or simply stand alongside us to say “thank you” and “welcome home,” your presence makes a difference.

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.
