Veterans awareness march to pass through Greenville on May 24
By Travis Hairgrove thairgrove@ On May 24 during Memorial Day weekend, Hunt County will once again be on the path of Carry the Load, 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 due to PTSD or other struggles. Carry the Load 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. In addition to supporting the country's military veterans, the walk also honors first responders. Carry the Load is a nonprofit that was founded by a group of former Navy Seals to raise funds and awareness for both veterans and their surviving families. The founders, in particular, designed the event with hopes of reminding communities of the meaning of Memorial Day. So far, as the walk passes through Hunt County and Rockwall County on May 24, planned stops include the Greenville Farmers Market at around 12:30 p.m. and 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 on May 25.
