TEXARKANA, Texas – Members of Carry the Load are walking through Texarkana Thursday to spread the message about the true meaning of Memorial Day.

“We walk to honor these people who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s our No. 1 mission. It’s definitely emotional. Some days your tired and ill, but there’s not been a single time when I didn’t think it was worth it,” said Cassidy Dillard, Carry the Load walker.
