Event overview

Come and join us as we support our brothers and sister from Team RWB on this great event. 9/11 Moving Tribute – Memorializing those who were lost and honoring those who have been affected, Team RWB will continuously carry Old Glory from dawn to dusk at Veterans Memorial Park from 6:00 a.m. until ~ 8:00 p.m. While most adults remember the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, very well, it’s probable that anyone in high school—or younger—has no memory of the day. Team RWB wants the community to come together to ensure the next generation of Americans understand the significance of 9/11, and never forget the lives lost on that fateful day. Come out and support the event, by joining in to walk, run, or bike with other Eagles. This free event is a simple and inclusive way to connect El Paso through a positive activity that allows people to understand the significance of 9/11, the impact on our country, and the heroism of the first responders. Please let me know what time you are able to attend.

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.
