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.

Background Check
Background Check:
Certain host organizations, such as schools, may prohibit volunteers with certain types of criminal convictions from participating in a service project. Accordingly, The Mission Continues is requesting your consent to conduct a criminal background check in the event that your Platoon is engaging in a service project with a host organization that requires a criminal background check. By checking the box below, you authorize The Mission Continues to conduct a criminal background check.
If such a background check is required, it will be completed and used in accordance with applicable law. The Mission Continues does not automatically disqualify persons from Platoons based on criminal convictions. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to move forward in their lives through service, at the same time that we seek to protect the communities we serve together.
