CHARACTERLETTER FROM the president

TMF Spartans, AS I THINK As I think back on this past year, there is one word that comes to mind: Thrive. In 2015, we continued our staunch commitment to empowering veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations. But our goal for the year was not BACK ON THIS simply to continue down the well-established path we have been working to create. We inno- vated within our programs by introducing Veteran Transition Workshops that enable veterans to succeed in their post-military lives. We redefined what it means to live with purpose, by activating veterans and survivors to serve in veteran-youth mentorship programs. We PAST YEAR, strengthened positive relationships by connecting veterans, survivors, and civilians through community events. At the same time, we increased the number of veterans and survivors “ volunteering with TMF by 50%, and in turn, they impacted 30,000 young adults in our THERE IS character program. In short, TMF is thriving. And every day, we’re empowering our military community to do the same. With the generous support of TMF supporters, donors, and volunteers, we will ONE WORD continue to grow and impact more people. But we also understand that to truly thrive—to stay innovative, committed, connected, and impassioned—will be an ongoing journey. And we ask you to join us on that journey.

THAT COMES As you well know, our motto at TMF is “If Not Me, Then Who…” This is far more than a catchy phrase. It’s a call-to-action, a moment of self-reflection, and a moral principle all rolled into one. It is a question that all our service members have answered before and continue to ask. And it is what I invite you to ask yourself as you review our organization’s TO MIND: milestones from this past year and consider joining this powerful movement. THRIVE Yours in gratitude, Ryan Manion Borek President, Travis Manion Foundation

CHARACTERhow it all began

On April 29, 2007 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC, was killed by a sniper while saving his wounded teammates in Iraq. Shortly after his death, the fallen Marine’s mother, Janet, created the Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) to carry on the legacy of character, service and leadership embodied by all of our nation’s fallen heroes. Founded in Doylestown, PA, TMF has generated a national movement that is inspired by the words Travis spoke before leaving for his second and final deployment– “If Not Me, Then Who…”

Three years after Travis’ death, his best friend and Naval Academy roommate, LT Brendan Looney, a Navy SEAL, was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Brendan’s widow, Amy Looney, inspired by her husband’s sacrifice, founded TMF’s second office in San Diego, CA in 2010. Since that time, Travis Manion Foundation has established 4 national offices, served more than 60,000 veterans and survivors, and strengthened communities throughout the nation. I truly believe that we all have a responsibility to give back to our communities, and in particular, we must help provide guidance to our youth.

CHARACTEROur unique approach

WHAT SETS TMF APART? Engagement meaning TMF programs are grounded in the innovative, evidence-based research field of Positive Psychology, which studies the “strengths and virtues that enable individuals, institutions, and communities to thrive.” By taking a ‘strengths-based’ approach to veteran reintegration, survivor healing, and youth development, we are able to connect disparate groups and build strong, prosperous communities.

The curriculum for our programs adopt the ‘PERMA’ model of well-being and happiness, which focuses on driving Engagement, positive Relationships, Meaning, and Achievement—all of which can be identified, developed, and measured in both individuals and organizations. relationships

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
