Clovis unites to honor heroes with Carry The Load

May 10, 2025

Clovis Roundup

The Clovis community demonstrated a powerful spirit of remembrance and unity this evening, as residents walked in solidarity with the Carry The Load initiative. The event brought together a diverse cross-section of the community, including veterans, active-duty military personnel, dedicated first responders, and their supportive families, all to honor the true essence of Memorial Day.

The collective steps taken served as a moving tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in their unwavering service to the nation. Participants engaged in quiet reflection, their shared presence a testament to gratitude, enduring memory, and strong community bonds. The profound mission of Carry The Load, to restore the deep meaning of Memorial Day, clearly resonated within the heart of Clovis.

This gathering offered a vital space for the community to pause, connect with one another, and reinforce the understanding that Memorial Day is far more than just an extended weekend. It stands as a solemn occasion to pay heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary sacrifices that have laid the foundation of the country’s freedoms.

Carry The Load, the non-profit behind this nationwide movement, was founded in 2011 by U.S. Navy SEAL veterans Clint Bruce and Stephen Holley. What began as a grassroots effort has since blossomed into a year-round national endeavor, uniting Americans in appreciation for the burdens carried by a select few for the benefit of all. The organization actively seeks to preserve the sanctity of Memorial Day through community-focused gatherings and the sharing of impactful stories.

Through its various programs, Carry The Load strives to provide active ways for Americans to honor and remember the sacrifices of the military, veterans, first responders, and their families. Their vision is to see all Americans united in this important act of remembrance. Beyond raising awareness and educating the public about these daily sacrifices, the organization also facilitates opportunities for active participation in honoring these heroes and raises crucial funds. These funds are strategically allocated to support the healing of the mind, body, and soul of the nation’s service members and their families. Impressively, since its inception, Carry The Load has directed a significant portion of its raised funds towards these vital awareness, continuum of care, and education programs.

The Clovis community’s enthusiastic participation underscores the deep respect and gratitude held for these heroes and their families. The organizers of the local Carry The Load event, along with the countless individuals who participated, volunteered their time, or offered their support, deserve immense thanks. Their collective efforts ensured that the legacy of these heroes continues to be honored, one step and one story at a time.
