Saturday, September 12, join communities across the country as we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and pay tribute to the first responders and service members who answered the call in the days that followed.
In partnership with the National Cemetery Administration, the National Day of Service and Remembrance brings volunteers together at more than 120 participating national, grant-funded, and local cemeteries across the country. A full list of participating cemeteries can be found at www.carrytheload.org/patriot-day/
Volunteers will help clean headstones and beautify these sacred grounds in tribute to our military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. Registration is free, but required.

The cost of service is heavy, and it doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. Carry The Load is proud to step into the gaps that these heroes and their families often experience alone, including dealing with loss, the cost of service, mental health struggles, adjusting to civilian life and more.
Carry The Load partners with other nonprofits across the U.S. to provide resources and care to our heroes and their families. 93% of every dollar raised supports programs for these heroes. Donations provide critical services such as counseling, suicide-prevention initiatives, adaptive training, non-traditional therapies, service-dog programs and career placement resources.
