SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – On Monday, a national nonprofit stopped by the Coastal Empire to help remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Carry The Load came to Savannah for a two-mile walk in recognition of Memorial Day coming up in two weeks.
The group works to raise awareness about the holiday’s true meaning – recognizing the first responders and military members who gave their lives in the line of duty.
“For years, it was a car sale, a barbeque, a mattress sale, and those things are all fine and good, but it’s more than just a day off. We want people to take a minute and to remember those military, first responders that paid that ultimate sacrifice, that gave their lives so that we can be here in a free country,” said Josh Lewis, the ambassador for Carry the Load.
