Greenville to celebrate Memorial Day with multiple events

May 16, 2025

Yahoo! News

Greenville will be getting a head start on Memorial Day with tributes to the U.S. military this Saturday with the Audie Murphy Day celebration, a historical aircraft fly-in at Greenville Municipal Airport and the installation of hundreds flags and crosses for the Greenville Flags Project.

The city’s celebration of those who made the ultimate sacrifice will continue during Memorial Day weekend with Carry the Load and a Day of Remembrance ceremony.

Carry the Load is an annual walk with the mission of raising awareness of America’s veterans, especially those who died in the line of duty or took their own lives because of PTSD or other struggles. It is a nationwide event that started coming through Greenville 11 years ago as part of the walk’s East Coast Relay, which moves from West Point, New York to Dallas.

Plans are for Carry the Load to pass through Greenville next Saturday, starting at about 12:30 p.m. at Greenville Farmers Market, and for it to stop again in Rockwall at the Rockwall County Courthouse at 6 p.m.

After passing through Rockwall, the group will continue on its path to Reverchon Park in Dallas for the Dallas Memorial March next Sunday.

Then, on Memorial Day, Greenville will have its own Day of Remembrance Ceremony at the site of the Greenville Flags Project – the Audie Murphy Memorial Bridge between Johnson Street and Stonewall Street – at 7 p.m.

The ceremony will include remarks from Flags Project founders Tim and Aletha Kruse as well as U.S. Rep. Keith Self.

There will also be a reading of the 267 Hunt County veterans honored by the project, as each of the crosses represents someone who died fighting in World War I, World War II, the Korean War or Vietnam War.
