After serving in Iraq, Marine Veteran Edison Recinos came home expecting a clear path forward. Instead, he found himself missing the direction, identity, and community the military had given him. For years, Edison held tightly to his military identity as the only story he knew. At TMF, he found a community of like-minded individuals who understood his experiences and helped him see that his military service was just one chapter of his story. This Veterans Day, help more veterans find community and purpose beyond the uniform. >> bit.ly/3UlvG8l Your gift will be matched $1-for-$1 up to $25,000, thanks to the generous support of the Pronio family, to make double the difference for veterans in search of community.

The dedication of our veterans leaves a lasting blueprint for how to serve others. This Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have served our country and recognize that their commitment to service doesn't end when the uniform comes off. At TMF, we invest in veterans and families of the fallen, empowering them to continue leading, mentoring youth, and serving in their communities. This Veterans Day, help more veterans find community and purpose beyond the uniform. >> bit.ly/3UlvG8l

Uniforms change. Service doesn't.

Eli is personally matching all donations $1 for $1 up to $10,000. Give today and double your impact. >> bit.ly/4j0dDOo

A quick but important reminder this Veterans Day. While both days are deeply meaningful, they hold very different purposes. 🎖️ Veterans Day is our opportunity to actively thank, honor, and celebrate all living men and women who have worn the uniform. It’s a day of gratitude for their service, sacrifice, and commitment. 🕊️ Memorial Day (in May) is a solemn day of remembrance dedicated specifically to those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving. Today, we focus on our living heroes. Their dedication inspires us to lead with integrity, give back, and live with purpose every day. Thank you veterans. Drop a "Thank you" or tag a veteran in the comments to show your appreciation today! 👇

Don't miss tonight's special concert honoring the men and women who have served our country. 🇺🇸🎶 As we approach Veterans Day, we’re excited to share that @UnderArmour Freedom and @AmazonMusic are bringing the community together for a special concert featuring @ParkerMcCollum!

Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! 251 years of honor, courage, and commitment. 🇺🇸

35 messages of appreciation for hospitalized veterans. 🇺🇸 In honor of Veterans Day, TMF’s Philadelphia Chapter and a local TMF high school club spent time creating cards and showing their support for those who have served. We’re proud to see youth in our TMF community coming together to recognize and give back to those who have given so much.

TMF is grateful to @FOXSports for their continued partnership and for sharing Travis' story with audiences nationwide during FOX Sports NFL broadcasts. Their support helps fuel our mission to invest in veterans and families of the fallen as they lead and serve in their communities.

Everything changed with a simple invitation to serve. After leaving the military in 2013, Army veteran Trifrena Jones struggled with the loss of purpose that had defined her life in uniform. What followed was a difficult season of questioning who she was, navigating PTSD, and enduring the unimaginable loss of her son. Then a friend invited her to serve again. Through that opportunity, Trifrena rediscovered purpose, community, and hope. Serving others became the catalyst for her own healing and reminded her that her mission wasn't over. This Veterans Day, help ensure more veterans know their mission isn't over. Donate today and your gift will be matched $1-for-$1 , thanks to the generous support of the Pronio family. >> bit.ly/3UlvG8l

Remembering the legacy of 1stLt Robert Kelly, USMC. From enlisting as an anti-tank assault man in 2003 to earning his commission and commanding 1st Platoon, Company L, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, Rob Kelly’s dedication to our nation was absolute. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, assisted in Hurricane Katrina relief, and gave the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan on November 9, 2010. Beyond his highly decorated military career, Rob was a man who brought light wherever he went. His quick wit, sharp sarcasm, and endless jokes defined him just as much as his uniform. He loved making people laugh, especially his surviving wife, Heather, who remained his favorite "tough critic" from their college days through their marriage. Heather continues to honor Rob's legacy through her work with TMF as a staff member and Spartan. From participating in service expeditions and leading service projects to building connections with and supporting other survivors, she carries his commitment to service forward in the communities she serves. Today, we honor his service, his sacrifice, and the joy he brought to everyone who knew him.

Eleven years ago today, our nation lost a bright light, a devoted father, and a deeply patriotic Sailor: PO2 Virgilio Milay, Navy. 🇺🇸 From his childhood spent fishing and swimming on the family boat to his proud naval service, VJ lived life at full throttle. He was the life of the party, always ready to entertain his mom with dinner and comic relief after her long nursing shifts. He was an incredible father and a friend you could never forget. Above all, VJ was defined by his character. He chose forgiveness over retaliation. When a crowd wanted to hurt a school bully, VJ stepped in, stopped them, and offered a helping hand instead. That act of kindness turned a former enemy into a lifelong friend. Though VJ was taken from us far too soon at just 26 years old, his legacy lives on through his son, Kai, a brilliant, kind-hearted reflection of his dad, and his mother, Debra, who continues to carry his legacy forward through her work with TMF as a Character Does Matter Mentor, an active member of the Jacksonville Chapter, and a participant in multiple service expeditions. Eleven years later, VJ's character and the impact he made on those around him continue to live on.

One of the biggest weekends in college football deserves a tailgate like this! Every year, our community comes together to celebrate, connect, and root on America’s teams ahead of the Army vs Navy Game at the TMF tailgate.

This Veterans Day, let’s raise a generation that truly understands freedom isn’t free. 🇺🇸 May our youth understand the commitment, service, and sacrifice that have protected our nation, and always honor those who have served. When our veterans continue to serve as leaders and mentors, they pass down the exact purpose, courage, and core values that keep our communities strong. Let's keep the spirit of service alive.

Ahead of Veterans Day, TMF volunteers gathered at Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Newtown, Pennsylvania, to raise the Avenue of Flags, placing 150 burial flags along the cemetery’s roads. Each flag once draped the casket of a Veteran laid to rest at the cemetery and was donated back by their family. Volunteers of all ages, including members of TMF high school clubs at Conwell-Egan Catholic High School and Council Rock North and South, came together to put character into action through service. Thank you to the Guardians of the National Cemetery for helping make this meaningful morning possible, and to @JNJNews for supporting TMF’s mission to invest in veterans and families of the fallen as they lead and serve in their communities. This is what honoring our veterans looks like. 🇺🇸

Today we honor Lance Cpl. Devin J. Hernandez, USMC. At 25 years old, Devin, of Maryland, passed away following a tragic training accident at Marine Corps Camp Schwab in Okinawa, Japan. We hold his loved ones and his fellow Marines in our hearts. His sacrifice and legacy of service will never be forgotten. Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸
