After separating from the military, I began to isolate myself because I was missing a sense of belonging and purpose. Thankfully, I came across The Mission Continues and found a new sense of purpose and motivation to serve my community. The Mission Continues gave me the opportunity to discover the skills I developed in the military and apply them to something positive.
I have participate in several community service projects as well as leadership programs with The Mission Continues. Most recently participated in the Women’s Veteran Leadership Program. Being apart of a program filled with such inspiring, driven, soulful women absolutely
As a Veteran I highly respect and honor the Mission Continues. While I was in the Army my last duty station I was deployed to Afghanistan and that has changed my life upside down and I am lost trying to figure out where i belong and what is my purpose. I found that volunteering has allowed me some peace of mind by being able to help others and cope with the reality that I will always be different in a society that no longer makes any sense. TMC helps Veterans and the community by working together to be the change you would like to see in the world for the better of all humans living on planet Earth or at least where we can help. I will always have their six because they have mines when all is lost to me they remind me that it's ok and everything will get better. It's not easy but we always move forward and The Mission Continues.
I see the passion and hard work of the staff and volunteers of this agency. It's truly inspiring and I'm so grateful to them for their efforts.
Our VFW post has never had such a solid fellow veteran service organization to collaborate with in the community service work we have done in Compton, Watts, & South Central Los Angeles for the last few years. We recommend any organization, group, or volunteers team up with The Mission Continues if they are seeking consistent, impactful, and veteran led community service projects.

I recently was involved with this program for 9/11. It is super important to me for a many reasons. I am glad to know there is a national chapter that seriously takes on important challenges. So, excited for further opportunities!
I've been a platoon leader as part of TMC for a while and I could say this has been one of the greatest opportunities for me, not only as an individual, but as a professional. I am able to not only utilize my skills to help undeserved communities in my area, but also learn skills that I thought I would never need. Throughout my time, I've made great connections on both sides, which led to long lasting friendships and opportunities I probably wouldn't had received anywhere else. I would recommend The Mission Continues to any veteran who wants to continue serving after you take off the uniform in their communities. And nine times out of then, you get fed. How you gonna say no to food?
I have had great experiences with The Mission Continues doing service projects near where I live, and even farther away for Mass Deployment. It's amazing to see how much community members appreciate someone caring about their community and trying to help make a difference. This is a great organization!
The Mission Continues Tampa Chapter has been an amazing source of support for our community service projects. The team leader is always eager to help us enhance our family events. Together, we have tackled two city park beautification projects! I look forward to working with The Mission Continues again.
Since I was released from the Army in 2006, I had been volunteering in various settings whether it be solo or with other groups. In 2018, I received an email from The Mission Continues Austin Platoon about a Christmas social event that they were having. I thought to myself that my family and I should go because we love free food! Little did I know that my life would change for the better as a result of this organization. Shortly after meeting the Austin platoon, my husband and I went to a service event at a diaper bank in Austin where I felt like I was back in uniform. I felt like a member of a team. I told myself that I had finally found my "tribe". Since then, I have worked hard with the Killeen Platoon and am now the Platoon Leader. I encourage all veterans, family members, and civilians that if you're looking for a sense of purpose and to be apart of something great, to find a platoon near you. You'll thank me later!
Amazing, hands-on volunteering within the local community! You can experience first-hand how the work you do impacts your community. It's a family friendly environment and an inviting group of people who care.
I am truly impressed by The Mission Continues organization and the incredible work they do. Their dedication to bringing veterans together not only fosters a sense of community but also plays a vital role in preventing veteran suicide. It's heartwarming to see how they lead from the front in promoting volunteerism and community engagement, setting a powerful example for all of us.
As a post-9/11 Army veteran, I can't say enough about The Mission Continues organization. Their commitment to uniting veterans is not just commendable but deeply personal to me. The fact that many of their staff are veterans themselves adds a level of authenticity and understanding that is truly invaluable.
I've had the privilege of participating in their service projects, and I can't emphasize enough how much fun they are and the incredibly positive impact they have on my mental health. The sense of camaraderie and purpose is priceless and something I have not felt since I left the service nearly 20 years ago. The Mission Continues makes a real difference in the lives of veterans like me. Their work is truly remarkable.
An organization with a huge heart! The support, programs and services offered to our nation's veterans is incredible!
I helped rebuild relationships with people in the community of Ferguson Missouri after the riots during a capstone project with The Mission Continues.
The Mission Continues Chicago has gone above and beyond to assist our grassroots community organization on the South-side of Chicago with important site improvements we wouldn’t otherwise be able to accomplish. Additionally, I’ve seen how providing these opportunities to the veterans and their families has boosted their moral by nurturing a sense of belonging and purpose. Absolutely vital organization.
The Mission Continues helped save me and it gave me purpose. I graduated from the Women Veterans Leadership Program and Leading for All. I embraced my calling and was selected to be an Ambassador. I am also a member of the Dallas -Fort Worth Service Platoon. I have traveled and met the most amazing women and (male veterans). I have a bond with sisters from all branches of service and our sisterhood can never be broken. We have completed service projects in Seattle, WA, Denver, CO and Nashville, TN. I have had the pleasure to mentor, motivate and stand in the gap. Some of the women have also instilled a fire in me that has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I owe so much to The Mission Continues for letting us learn, love, level up and let go!
I am currently part of the WVLP, Women Veteran Leadership Program that The Mission Continues offers to women veterans. It has been a life changing program and experience that so highly recommended to other veterans. The impact they are having on the lives of the women is incredible. I am happy to be a member and volunteer with The Mission Continues. They are one of the best non-profits I have encountered in my life!!!
I participate with the platoon, and the service we provide is impactful to the communities in need. I feel respected and valuable. I love being out with fellow veterans and making a change. I had the great opportunity to be part of The Women Veterans Leadership Program, and it was indeed an excellent opportunity to come together as a team and create a life-changing moment and everlasting memories. I recommend The Mission Continues to any fellow veteran that wants to be involved with the community and stay connected with fellow veterans from all eras.
The Mission Continues is a wonderful experience for Veterans, their families, and friends. I highly recommend any veteran to join your local platoon and get out to get some fresh air, reconnect with your brothers and sisters in arms, and give back to your community.
I recently joined the San Diego 1st Platoon after moving down this way. I was looking to make friends and open up my social network and couldn't be happier. I know after the military, many of us do not feel as if we have a "mission" in life anymore. We found a job and go through the day to day grind, but after giving up 1 Saturday morning each month to do some simple handy work, it has given me a new light. I really enjoy working with my hands and hanging out with people who want to give back. It gives me a good sweat, some Vitamin D, and the ability to connect with those silly people who used to make us laugh in the smoke pit.
The Mission Continues also has a Fellowship program which can be a true life saver for any transitioning veteran who is looking for a career change. I refer many of my clients to the program and their feedback has been extremely positive. These stepping stones back to the civilian workforce is having drastic positive influences on my client's lives. Thank you for doing what you do. Please support this program, if not through donations, then with a physical presence. Thanks.
The Mission Continues is an amazing organization that gives veterans an opportunity to experience leadership in a whole new way. I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know its CEO and Founder, Eric Greitens and am continually inspired by their work. They provide disabled veterans and opportunity to learn new skills and enhance the ones they currently have. They are a shining example of what a veteran's organization should be!
The Mission Continues is a wonderful organization that allows our returning veterans to continue to serve their country as community leaders through various community outreach programs and fellowships. I have personally served as volunteer for several service projects over the last two years in St. Louis and have found that this organization makes a positive impact in our community. There are opportunities of volunteers of all ages to participate.
