Carry The Load - Tampa Rally

Carry The Load - Tampa Rally Providing an active way to honor and celebrate our nation’s heroes by remembering the sacrifices made by Military & First Responders www.carrytheload.org

Ten years ago former Navy SEAL and war veteran, Clint Bruce, attended a barbecue on Memorial Day. As he thought about the friends he’d lost in combat, he couldn’t help but notice that the people around him had a very different view of what Memorial Day meant. To some, it was a party. To others, it was a fun and relaxing day off work. Clint struggled, carrying both anger and grief that day. Not kno

wing what else to do, he strapped on his pack and began walking, all the while thinking about the people who sacrificed for him and for you. As he walked, he encountered another veteran: an older gentleman who knew exactly what Clint was doing. With understanding and wisdom, the man simply said, “Son, who are you carrying?” Clint says that with those words, “the tumblers fell into place as he articulated what I was feeling and with that moment Carry The Load was born.”

Since then, it has been Clint’s and fellow Navy SEAL veteran Stephen Holley’s tireless mission to connect Americans to the sacrifices made by our military, law enforcement, firefighters and rescue personnel and to give them an active way to participate. What started as a mission to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day has broadened to include more than just our military heroes and more than just the one holiday. Carry The Load works to bring all Americans together to participate in honoring our nation’s heroes every day.
