Event overview

Veterans Day- Honoring All Who Served! Come out and join all five platoons as we get together for greatness at Eight Million Stories! In the USA, Veterans Day annually falls on November 11, which is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. This year, we will honor our veterans on November 17th as we help Eight Million Stories, an organization that provides comprehensive support to previously incarcerated youth. We will beautify this campus and create bright spots so that youth have a positive environment where they can thrive. We need volunteers for the following projects: 1. Painting outside of two buildings 2. Painting inside of two buildings (consist of classrooms, restrooms, and offices) 3. Painting basketball goals (Placing nets on basketball goals and drawing the box on the goal) 4. Landscaping and mulching 5. Re-striping parking lot Registration and breakfast will start at 8:30 a.m. so that we can kick off the event on time. Snacks and lunch will be provided. We hope to see you there!

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.
