Memorial Day ‘Carry The Load’ Project
by Diane Chase

The importance of Memorial Day can be lost in the shuffle of a long holiday weekend, traffic jams, and parades.

True Meaning of Memorial Day Isn’t a 3-Day Weekend
Last May, I trekked three and a half miles through New York City’s streets, lugging a 31-pound backpack. This was my Memorial Day tribute.


The weight on my shoulders symbolized the pain carried by families and loved ones of fallen military members. I carried photos of 30 men who never returned from war. The men and one military working dog were in a Chinook helicopter that was shot down by enemy forces in Wardak province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 6, 2011. I didn’t know these men personally, but I served in their unit. I served on active duty with the Navy.

Story & Impact of Carry The Load


May is the month we commemorate Memorial Day. Most people think of backyard barbecues, pool parties and days at the lake, but that is not what Memorial Day is all about. Six years ago, this national amnesia about what used to be called “Decoration Day” was too much for two battle-hardened Navy Seals, Stephen Holley and Clint Bruce.  Losing friends in combat was always on their minds, and seeing how most  Americans seemed to have forgotten the ultimate sacrifices they made, Holley and Bruce decided to do something about it.
