A nationwide movement known as Carry the Load visited Erie, hoping to help restore the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Carry the Load travels throughout the country to unite Americans in appreciation for the sacrifices made by the men and women who have served in the military.

Thursday, groups walked through Erie with the names of people on their minds that they carry with them every day.

“One of the things that we hear a lot in our world is when you have heroes that die like this, they die twice. The first time when they actually pass away and the second time that they die is when we stop speaking their names. If you ever look at all of our boards, it says ‘always remember,’ and we like to say ‘never forget.’ We want to do that because we want those stories passed along,” said David Lindsey, a Carry the Load nationwide events team member.

The movement is heading to Chicago next as they continue to travel the country. They’ll end their tour in Texas.
