Why We Carry The Load
Carry The Load was founded on a simple belief: the sacrifice of our nation’s heroes should never be forgotten, and the weight of that sacrifice should never be carried alone. Through community-driven events, fundraising, and remembrance, we honor the fallen, support families, and stand alongside those who continue to serve.
Who We Are
About Carry The Load
Carry The Load is a non-profit organization that exists to actively connect Americans to the sacrifices made by our military, first responders, and their families. What started in 2011 as a grassroots effort by Veteran U.S. Navy SEALs, Clint Bruce and Stephen Holley has now grown into a nationwide movement with people honoring and remembering our nation’s heroes throughout the year.
