The Mission Continues

The Mission Continues is a nonprofit organization that was founded by Eric Greitens a Navy SEAL in 2007. Upon his return, he visited wounded Marines at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. Without exception, each Marine expressed an unwavering desire to continue serving his country, even if he could no longer do so in the military. Inspired, Eric used his own combat pay and two friends pitched in their military disability checks to found The Mission Continues. Their mission is to build an America where every returning veteran can serve again as a citizen leader, and where together we honor the fallen by living their values through service. We accomplish our mission through our unique Mission Continues programs. These include our Fellowship, Service Projects and Thought Leadership programs.

We believe that the leadership skills and life experiences that our wounded and disabled veterans possess are valuable and untapped assets. While it is very important to tell our returning veterans "thank you" for their service, we believe that it is also important to tell them "we still need you."
