Carry The Load Dallas Memorial March 2024

In 2011, veteran U.S. Navy SEALs Stephen Holley and Clint Bruce completed a 20-hour, 11-minute Memorial March around White Rock Lake in Dallas. They marched to remind the nation about the true meaning of the sacrifices made for our freedom. More than a decade later, Carry The Load is a worldwide movement that honors our nation’s heroes and makes Memorial Day matter again. We encourage all Americans to do something meaningful on Memorial Day, even just pausing at 3pm to remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

March with your families and friends to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The Dallas Memorial March is our flagship event and is a two-day embodiment of our values and mission to celebrate our heroes, embrace the fallen, and educate communities on how to respectfully observe Memorial Day.

Join us at the stage at 3:45 pm on Sunday, May 26th, as we welcome the National Relay team as they hand the American Flag off to the Dallas Memorial March. Chris Lawrence WFAA News Anchor will be the Master of Ceremony as we kick off our 20-hour March to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We will step off for the start of the Dallas Memorial March at 4:30 pm with a 2-mile loop on the Dallas city streets and continue to march in their honor for 20 hours up and down the Katy Trail.
