Orlando Platoon

Event overview

Orlando's Service Platoons will be joining forces with Tampa's 1st Service Platoon for an unforgettable 9/11 service project at My Warrior's Place. My Warriors Place is a Retreat Center for Veterans, Military Service Members, First Responders, Gold Star, Blue Star and Silver Star Families. Additionally, My Warrior’s Place offers several amazing programs for those who have put their life on the line for our safety and well being, endured the death of a Fallen Warrior and/or experienced the horrors of war. Each program offered by My Warrior’s Place plays an important role in the healing and coping process, and the support that is obtained through these programs is priceless! Join us as we honor our FALLEN HEROES by maintaining a SAFE PLACE for their families and loved ones to grieve! On Saturday, September 9th, we will be painting, demolishing, rebuilding, and beautifying the grounds and facilities, which was founded and run by a Gold Star mother, Kelly Kowall. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and refreshments will be provided on site!!

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.
