VIDEO: Memorial Day is set to be recognized on Monday, while many are planning their first barbecue of the season or to get out into Colorado’s beautiful wilderness, one group wants you to reflect on the sacrifices made to afford that opportunity. Carry The Load, a national non-profit veteran and first responder service organization, was in Colorado Springs on Tuesday, hosting just one of its annual walks happening across the country.
โCarry The Load first started out of anger and frustration for a nation that we felt had forgotten the true meaning of Memorial Day,โ says Stephen Holley, co-founder, president, and CEO of Carry The Load and a U.S. Navy SEAL Veteran.” Since then, our ‘Memorial May’ campaign has helped provide healing for friends and family of the fallen and keeps their memories alive.” The group of more than 40 people gathered at Memorial Park to honor fallen heroes. Carry The Load’s next stop will be in Arkansas and then on to Dallas for Memorial Day.
