2019 - New Mexico Expedition

07 - Apr - 2019 thru 13 - Apr - 2019
Event Recap



During the week of April 7, 2019, a group of survivors, volunteers, and TMF staff traveled to Iyanbito, New Mexico, to take part in a home build for a Vietnam-era Army veteran, who is the son of a Navajo code talker.

Members of the veteran’s Navajo Nation community had worked to get the home’s foundation in place even before the TMF team arrived. Over the following days, the dedicated group battled weather conditions to complete the exterior of the new home. The home build was a real group effort, as families of the fallen and TMF volunteers joined with members of the Navajo Nation to honor the service and sacrifice of our military.

When asked if the New Mexico Expedition exemplified the character and mission of Travis Manion Foundation,  Jean Mariano, Gold Star mom of Petty Officer First Class (SEAL) Jason Lewis reflected, “When there is a work that needs to be done it would be easy to say I’ll let someone else do it, but the reality is we need to be part of the change. So if it’s not me, then who…?”
