Memorial Day Flag Planting in West Roxbury

May 19, 2019

12:00 PM - 04:00 PM EDT

Boston Platoon

Event overview

Massachusetts is the final resting place of tens of thousands of veterans from generations spanning the Revolution to the Global War on Terrorism. Out of respect for their service and the sacrifices they made in their respective lifetimes, the State and City of Boston wish to place a flag at the headstone of each and every veteran laid to rest in a Massachusetts cemetery in time for Memorial Day. The Mission Continues Boston Platoon will be teaming up with Team RWB-Boston to plant flags on veteran graves at Shara Tfilo Cemetery in West Roxbury. Please join us in honoring the men and women who came before us in liberty.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
