As Memorial Day approaches, Spirit of a Hero is gearing up for our annual participation in the Carry the Load event, a powerful tribute to our fallen heroes. This event is not just a memorial walk; it’s a journey through the heart of what Memorial Day truly represents. This year marks our continued commitment to this poignant event, which allows participants to reflect deeply on the freedoms and joys that we often take for granted. As we walk, we remember all those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
Carry the Load offers an opportunity to step away from the typical festivities of Memorial Day and engage in a more introspective observance. Over the years, we have walked in complete silence, a moving experience that honors those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The event is set against the peaceful backdrop of the night, starting at midnight on May 27th, transitioning from Sunday to Monday. Participants will gather at 11:30 PM on Sunday evening, embarking on a seven-mile walk that lasts approximately four hours.
This silent march is not about physical endurance but about reflection and connection. Along the route, storyboards honor fallen soldiers, first responders, and front-line workers, providing a space for walkers to pause and remember. This is not a race but a journey of remembrance, where each step symbolizes a moment of gratitude for the sacrifices that secure our daily lives.
