Military Wives, 

Thank you for your ongoing support of our service men and women. The work you do is commendable and greatly appreciated. As a leader committed to serving the needs of our service men and women, we need your help to Carry the Load and help us bring back the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Carry the Load is a non-profit founded former Navy Seals to raise funds and awareness for Veterans and their surviving families. We are currently "rucking", or walking, through Virginia on our 1,700-mile relay from West Point, New York to Dallas, Texas to help honor and highlight the sacrifices of America's heroes as we approach Memorial Day. Wednesday, May 2, we walked with many 9/11 families and the Iraqi & Afghanistan Veterans Association to ground zero for a memorial service and gathered in Arlington on Sunday, May 6th to pay our respect to the great American heroes that gave their last full measure of service for our nation.

From the Trail

The trek has been an inspiring walk of remembrance. The stories collected along the way as we walked to the World Trade Center Memorial with 9/11 families, stopped in Arlington National Cemetery with veterans and surviving spouses and rucked through small towns across the US symbolize the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Below are a few highlights from the Relay so far.
