Little Rock (KATV) — Memorial Day is rapidly approaching this weekend, and ceremonies honoring the nation’s fallen soldiers are already ramping up.

One such celebration, Carry The Load’s National Relay, is set to come to Little Rock on Tuesday afternoon.

Since 2011, Carry The Load has organized a yearly National Relay to honor and remember those who have laid down their lives for our freedom.

The organization says their goal is to, “Restore the true meaning behind Memorial Day.”

The Relay has five routes that cover a grand total of 20,000 miles across all 48 of the continental states. It begins in the northern part of the country on Apr. 29 before commencing in Dallas on Memorial Day Weekend.

A relay group is expected to meet at the Little Rock National Cemetery (2523 Springer Blvd.) at 1:40 p.m. The walk will begin 20 minutes later at 2 p.m.
