National Service and Veterans Organizations Join Forces to Expand #TheHonorProject Activating Volunteers to Honor Fallen Military Heroes
Through #TheHonorProject, families of fallen service members and battle buddies request a personal visit to their fallen hero. On Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day, volunteers personally visit and place a handcrafted memento at each hero’s interment location, paying their respects and pausing to reflect on the sacrifices of those service members.
The Honor Project volunteers will visit heroes at seven national cemeteries including: Jacksonville National Cemetery (Jacksonville, Fla.); Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery (San Diego, Calif.); Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery (Fort Leavenworth, Kan.), Fort Logan National Cemetery (Fort Logan, Colo.); Washington Crossing National Cemetery (Bucks County, Penn.); Arlington National Cemetery; and a private ceremony at West Point National Cemetery (West Point, NY).?
“It is our duty to pause to reflect on the sacrifices of our nation’s service members each Memorial Day,” said Ryan Manion, President, Travis Manion Foundation. “We are proud to be working with AmeriCorps to expand The Honor Project and stand in for those unable to visit their loved ones. Our veterans, military families of the fallen and civilian volunteers are motivated to honor more heroes, to learn their stories and remember their selfless sacrifice at our nation’s most hallowed grounds.”?
“This Memorial Day, we are grateful to partner with the Travis Manion Foundation to give our fellow Americans an opportunity to celebrate the lives of our fallen heroes and honor their sacrifice,” said Michael D. Smith, AmeriCorps CEO. “We look forward to continuing this effort to unite our country through service.”
