CARRY THE LOAD VETERANS ORGANIZATION DEBUTS AT HOPKINS COUNTY EMS
Carry the load is coming to Hopkins County EMS Central Station!
We would like to take a moment to tell you about this amazing organization that will be coming through our community.
Carry The Load is a non profit organization with the mission to provide active ways to honor and remember our nation’s heroes by connecting Americans to the sacrifices made by our military, veterans, first responders and their families.
Their goals are to raise awareness of those who sacrifice for us daily by providing Americans active ways to remember, honor, and celebrate them.
To raise funds to provide healing services for the mind, body, and soul of our warriors.
To inspire patriotism in our youth by educating them about the American flag and the sacrifices made to honor it.
This is an amazing opportunity to honor our family and friends who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Also to honor the family members that have lost a loved one in the line of duty.
I would like to invite everyone to come and join the New England relay team for the only opportunity to walk through our hometown. You are also welcome to just stop by and say hi even if you aren’t able to do the walking.
Date: May 27th
Time: 5 am sharp! walking starts
Distance walking: 3.1 miles
Location: Hopkins County EMS Central Station
Address: 116 Airport Rd Sulphur Springs Tx. 75482
This early morning walk will start the final push to Dallas. The New England relay team will start at 5am in Sulphur Springs and they will walk continuously through the night into Dallas. This is the only portion of all the relays that walks uninterrupted.
I highly encourage everyone to come out and share stories, walk, talk and remember that freedom isn’t free.
We highly encourage escorts from SSPD, SSFD, HCSO, HCFD and HCEMS.
