NBC News offers a piece on former Navy SEALs reminding us about the true meaning of Memorial Day.
ST. LOUIS — For many people, Memorial Day
marks the unofficial start of summer and a three-day weekend of barbecues,
beach trips and other outdoor activities. But for those who’ve lost loved ones
to war, it can mean visits to the cemetery and the re-emergence of grief and
pain.
Two former Navy
SEALs who didn’t want people to lose sight of the true meaning of the holiday
co-founded Carry The Load, a nonprofit group dedicated to the mindful awareness
of those who died in service to the U.S. military.
Every year, Carry
The Load organizes a monthlong national relay consisting of five routes
covering 20,000 miles across all 48 states in the continental U.S. People march
in remembrance of their loved ones’ service and to make sure their memories are
never forgotten.
