Dallas is where the Memorial March began over a decade ago, and every year we host a two-day Rally featuring live music, inspiring speeches, personal stories of our fallen heroes, flag ceremonies and more.

Memorial May culminates in the Dallas Memorial March at the historic Katy Trail. All participants are welcome, whether they walk for 20 hours or 20 minutes.

Carry The Load remembers the sacrifice of our fallen heroes with a month-long series of marches, rallies and fundraising events all around the nation.

On Patriot Day, Carry The Load remembers all those who served and sacrificed for our country. We encourage all Americans to take the day to reflect and honor our military, veterans, first responders, and their families, and volunteer with us to clean headstones and beautify VA National Cemeteries across the nation.

Our annual event at Elm Fork shooting range, Dallas, raises much-needed funds and awareness to further Carry The Load’s mission through the end of the year and beyond.
