About Travis Manion Foundation

Travis Manion Foundation is a community-led by veterans and families of the fallen but open to all—that serves together and supports each other.

In 2007, 1st Lt Travis Manion (USMC) was killed in Iraq while saving his wounded teammates.

Today, Travis' legacy lives on in the words he spoke before leaving for his final deployment, "If Not Me, Then Who..."

Guided by this mantra, veterans and families of the fallen are empowered to become leaders in their communities, develop strong relationships, 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 lives on in the next generation.
