​Manion Foundation To Honor Fallen Heroes At Washington Crossing

UPPER MAKEFIELD, PA — The Travis Manion Foundation (TMF), one of the nation’s leading veteran service organizations, is bringing The Honor Project to the Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Bucks County on Memorial Day and it is seeking volunteers to help honor the fallen.

In 2024, the impact of the project will be the largest in its history, with 2,000 volunteers visiting the resting places of fallen service members at 47 cemeteries in 24 states.

On Memorial Day, volunteers at Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Upper Makefield will personally visit and place hand-crafted commemorative tokens at the resting places of fallen heroes, paying their respects and pausing to reflect on the sacrifices of those service members.

Through The Honor Project, families of fallen service members and battle buddies are encouraged to request a personal visit to their fallen heroes.

For the third consecutive year, Philadelphia-based SimpleTire will donate $5,000 to TMF to support volunteers participating in The Honor Project at Washington Crossing National Cemetery.

“Memorial Day is a time to pause and reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice,” said Ryan Manion, CEO, Travis Manion Foundation. “It’s our duty and obligation as a nation to honor our fallen heroes by saying their names, learning their stories and preserving their legacies. We’re
grateful to SimpleTire for supporting the work of our volunteers in Bucks County to ensure that our fallen heroes are remembered on Memorial Day.”

On-site volunteer registration will be available at Washington Crossing National Cemetery beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, May 27.
