2019 Guatemala Recap



A group of twenty survivors, veterans, and TMF volunteers traveled from across the United States to meet in Guatemala for a week of service and growth.

Committed to honoring the legacy of fallen heroes, the group met with a local family in San Raymundo; the group worked to build this family a home in honor of a fallen military service member. This was TMF’s eighth home in San Raymundo, a small town in Guatemala’s mountainous region.

The group of parents, spouses, siblings, and children embarked on a mission to change the life of a family in need. In three days, the group succeeded and handed the keys of the completed house to the new homeowners. Hanging above the door is a brass plaque engraved with the names of the heroes who were honored by their family members.  The plaque remains a testament to the enduring spirit and legacy of those who have given the last full measure of devotion.

The TMF Guatemala Expedition left a profound impact on all those that involved, including Forrest Voss, an active-duty airman and brother of fallen hero Capt. Mark Tyler Voss, US Air Force.

“Tyler was always a man of service,” Forrest said. “This Expedition, therefore, was an honor to his legacy and a representation of his character.”
