About the Travis Manion Foundation

The Travis Manion Foundation unites communities to strengthen America’s national character by empowering Veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop and lead future generations. In 2007, 1st Lt. Travis Manion (USMC) was killed in Iraq while saving his wounded teammates. Guided by his ethos, “If not me, then who…,” Veterans continue their service, develop strong relationships with their communities and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes live on in the next generation.
