Celebrating Memorial “May” in Wilmington

May 4, 2025

WDEL

From West Point to Dallas with stops in between – including Wilmington – non-profit Carry the Load is keeping the spirit of Memorial Day alive all month long.

Carry the Load supports services throughout the country such as counseling, adaptive training, suicide prevention, job placements, and scholarships for children of the fallen. In addition to military members and veterans, the group also supports first-responders and their families.

At the Wilmington Riverfront, hundreds of people – many from Delaware-incorporated JPMorgan Chase – walked for the cause, and in honor of an individual they wanted to recognize and remember. A core group began days earlier at West Point, and will make many stops on the way to Dallas in time for Memorial Day weekend.

Josh Lewis, Carry the Load Ambassador, walks in honor of fallen brothers who were killed in Iraq. Participants were invited to wear a label with the name of someone they honor.

“Everybody’s got a reason to be out here and somebody to walk for. We celebrate those lives,” Lewis said.

“Carry The Load’s mission serves as a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Memorial Day, and JPMorganChase is proud to support their efforts to ensure our nation’s heroes are never forgotten,” Global Head of Military & Veterans Affair Mark Elliott said. “Our commitment to the military community is deeply rooted – from hiring nearly 20,000 veterans and over 3,000 military spouses since 2011, to equipping military families and veteran-owned businesses with the tools and resources they need to thrive. Honoring the sacrifice of those who gave their lives means not only remembering them – but supporting the loved ones and communities they served.”
