A growing number of companies are paying tribute to the men and women who died while serving our country this Memorial Day weekend as well as throughout Military Appreciation Month.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Two Northwest Arkansas nonprofits will walk around Bella Vista Lake Saturday morning to honor those who died in the line of duty. The walk or ruck is two miles around Bella Vista Lake, starting from the Veterans Wall of Honor. See more HERE.

Memorial Day allows people to celebrate those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country, and to reflect on all the work and sacrifices servicemen make every day. Carry The Load, in partnership with JPMorgan Chase, works daily to remind Americans of the importance of Memorial Day and those who serve our country, as well as provide media-resources for military, veteran and first-responder families.

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Carrying the load for others- That’s the goal of those who participated in a fundraiser walk Friday in Amarillo. They’re raising money and awareness for first responders and military members who need it. See more HERE.

WACO, Texas – Carry The Load marched it’s way through Waco Friday as way to honor veterans, first responders, and families of those who sacrifice their lives in the line of duty. Load carrier Amber Frandsen first attended a Carry The Load event in 2019, and was moved to be a part. See more HERE.

At each Carry the Load event, a group of Boy Scouts spends hours planting American flags in the grass, one for each American military life lost since 9/11. An exercise, you might think, could scare someone and lead them away from taking that same chance with their own life. Brendan Corcoran explains why you would be wrong. See more HERE.

"There's a proverb that a journey of a thousand mild starts with one step. They took that step in 2011." See more HERE.
