Carry The Load to host Patriot Day Service at Cheyenne National Cemetery

September 2, 2025

Cap City News

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Cap City Press) – In recognition of Patriot Day on Sept. 11, Carry The Load, a national nonprofit, is partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration, to host a National Day of Service and Remembrance at the Cheyenne National Cemetery.

The event invites volunteers to help clean headstones and beautify the grounds in tribute to fallen military, veterans, first responders and their families.

The event will be from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the Cheyenne National Cemetery, located at 8611 Hildreth Road. Patriot Day honors the lives lost during the September 2001 terrorist attacks, as well as the sacrifices of first responders and military members in the aftermath.

“Patriot Day is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice shown by our first responders and military on 9/11 and beyond,” said Stephen Holley, co-founder, president and CEO of Carry The Load and veteran U.S. Navy SEAL. “By coming together to serve our communities and honor stories of the fallen, we ensure their legacy lives on, and we remind ourselves that freedom is never free.”

Since 2019, thousands of volunteers have participated in Carry The Load’s Patriot Day events. The day of service is designed for corporate teams and community youth groups to come together to remember those lost due to the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Volunteers are asked to dress casually and respectfully, avoiding open-toed shoes and tank tops. Participants should also be mindful of the weather as the event is outdoors, and pets are not allowed. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

For more information or to register to volunteer, visit the Carry The Load website.
