Hundreds went out to Reverchon Park for the annual Carry the Load Dallas Memorial March for a mission to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day.
It's a national event that runs the month of May, and ends on Memorial Day weekend in Dallas for the Dallas Memorial March.Some will march through the night around the Katy Trail for a total of 20 hours and 23 minutes. Hundreds went out to Reverchon Park Sunday for the annual Carry the Load Dallas Memorial March. "My name is Chris Board I carry the load for my son, Cody," Chris Board said.Some were carrying friends, while others, like Board, were carrying family.
"They say a person will die two deaths. The first death is their physical death and the second is when their name is no longer spoken. So for me, it’s a personal mission to share his story," Chris explained.His father doesn’t carry out this mission alone. "It’s always a huge mix of emotions, it’s pride, it’s sadness, it’s all of it," one of Chris’ sons said.
Former combat Marine Jacob Schick does this through his mental and emotional wellness organization, One Tribe Foundation. "Freedom isn’t free, so all these people coming together to honor the men and women that are no longer with us and are greater than I’ll ever be, it means everything to me," he said."My answer is always the same, it’s all of them," he said.
Carry the Load has a national relay where teams of marchers travel 20,000 miles on five different routes covering 48 states. The relay ends with the Dallas Memorial March."Go have a picnic, go out to the lake and enjoy it, but don’t forget it’s Memorial Day and we need to honor those who fought and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we enjoy," one participant said.
