In a world where it can feel like there's not enough light, our TMF Veteran Mentors across the country are proving otherwise! The TMF Southeast region made a huge impact on nearly 200 kids at the 'Flapjacks and Backpacks' Back to School event at USO Fort Campbell, showing them how much they matter. They fed them, laughed with them, learned about them, encouraged them, danced with them, and taught them about the character strength "love of learning." Eva Nicol from USO Fort Campbell shared, "My favorite part of this event is seeing the faces of the children as they get the backpacks. It brings a lot of our community members together, and we've got several sponsors who make this a huge, impactful event right before school season."

With 50 in-person races nationwide (including 7 new locations!), plus the options to participate virtually or host a shadow run in your local community, there's no excuse to not get involved with our #911HeroesRun. 🇺🇸 Presented by USAA Small Business Insurance, register today to run, walk, or ruck to honor our nation's heroes. >> https://bit.ly/3tXn6wf #IfNotMeThenWho #USAA #RuntoRemember #HonorOurHeroes

We're halfway through TMF's 7-month Spartan Leadership Program (SLP), and it's during this week in the mountains of Colorado—the second in-person gathering—where many participants discover their true 'why.' Veterans and family members of fallen heroes have come together this week to grow, challenge themselves, and evolve into the best leaders they can be. #IfNotMeThenWho

Travis Manion Foundation is proud to thank our dedicated partner, the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, for their support in advancing TMF Youth Clubs nationwide. Together, we celebrate our young leaders who embody the spirit of 'If Not Me, Then Who...' and inspire positive change within their communities.

18 years ago today, Spc. Andrew Velez lost his life while serving in Afghanistan. This devastating loss came just two years after his brother, Cpl. Jose A. Velez, made the ultimate sacrifice while serving overseas. Their sister, Monica, faced unimaginable grief but chose to channel her pain into purpose. Determined to honor her brothers' legacies, Monica has dedicated herself to community service through Travis Manion Foundation. As a Character Does Matter mentor, she has empowered countless youth and extended her reach to communities both nationally and internationally. Monica's commitment to honoring the legacies of her two brothers is evident in her various roles with TMF. From empowering youth as a TMF Mentor to making a positive impact in her community of Austin, TX through leading service projects, she continues the selfless service her brothers exemplified, making a profound impact on those she serves. #IfNotMeThenWho
