A relay team from Carry The Load, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to bring awareness of the sacrifices made each day by our military, veterans, first responders and their families, will travel through the Rocket City on May 22. âIt really means that people care enough to think about those whom they never knew, but they know lost their lives because of serving this country,â Julie Kink, a Gold Star sister, said when asked what it means to her when people she doesnât know do things to honor those whoâve died while serving. âIt means that people in the general public care enough to recognize that Memorial Day is something special and itâs not only the official start to summer,â she said.
