The Mission Continues, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, was founded in 2007 after CEO
Eric Greitens returned home from service in
Iraq as a Navy SEAL. Upon his return, Eric visited
with 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. One young
Marine even said this: “I lost my legs – that is
all. I did not lose my desire to serve, or my pride
in being an American.” Inspired, Eric used his
own combat pay and two friends pitched in
their military disability checks to found TheMission Continues.
