Heroes on the Water Friends:

Heroes on the Water (HOW) is honored to be one of four national non-profit partners of Carry the Load 2014. As a partner, we are working to build the relay and rallies in new locations across the United States. We would love your support in restoring the true meaning of Memorial Day.

The National "Carry The Load" Relay kicked off Tuesday, April 29 at West Point and will end on May 25 in Dallas, Texas. HOW will be represented by warriors, volunteers, and friends like you walking legs of the relay to honor those who have served. In addition, HOW chapters will be supporting rallies in new locations to build support for Carry The Load in their local areas.

Here are ways you can join with HOW and get involved.

We invite you to walk with HOW in the National Relay from West Point to Dallas. We have teams under the Heroes on the Water flag. To participate you will need to sign up under an existing team or form your own team. There are no fees to participate. Here are the links to join an existing HOW teams:

• HOW-National Team
• HOW-Maryland/Appalachian    
• HOW Team                    

An image of the National Relay Route is below, but you can also view an Interactive Map to select the route you want to participate in.
