March with your families and friends to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
The Dallas Memorial March is our flagship event and is a two-day embodiment of our values and mission to celebrate our heroes, embrace the fallen, and educate communities on how to respectfully observe Memorial Day.
In 2011, veteran U.S. Navy SEALs Stephen Holley and Clint Bruce completed a 20-hour, 11-minute Memorial March around White Rock Lake in Dallas.
They marched to remind the nation about the true meaning of the sacrifices made for our freedom. More than a decade later, Carry The Load is a worldwide movement that honors our nation’s heroes and makes Memorial Day matter again.
We encourage all Americans to do something meaningful on Memorial Day, even just pausing at 3pm to remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
