*This post has been brought to you on behalf of DFW GMC Dealers.*
Memorial Day is just a few days away and in honor of Carry The Load, DFW GMC Dealers want people to salute a veteran or active duty military hero or first responder (fire, police, medical) by going to the DFW GMC Facebook page and entering a “salute.” (If you are mobile, salute here.) The salutes will be posted on a special Honor Roll Call. Check back each day to see the salutes.
Here’s the awesome part: If you have a story and photo to share about the person you are saluting, DFW GMC Dealers will donate an additional $5 if you post it on their Facebook wall. DFW GMC Dealers – a 2013 sponsor of Carry The Load– will donate $5 for every salute and story up to $10,000 through May 25, 2013, so hurry!
There will be the Dallas Memorial March, which will be held Sunday and Monday, May 26-27, at Reverchon Park and Katy Trail. Money is raised by event participants and sponsors with a goal of 1 million dollars. Recipients for 2013 are Assist The Officer, Heroes On The Water, Friends of Dallas Fire-Rescue, Tip Of The Spear Foundation and Sons of the Flag Burn Foundation.The 2000-mile, 27-day Carry The Load National Relay left West Point, NY, on April 30 and will finish in Dallas Memorial Day weekend. The journey honors America’s fallen heroes and their families. Follow the relay on Facebook at https://www.facebook.cosaluteonm/CarryTheLoad.

That’s great that you are saluting our veterans. They have given their lives for our freedom.

What a neat way for people and corporations to get involved in showing their support. I can’t imagine the stress that the families deal with on an hourly basis while their loved ones are working to protect us. Thanks for bringing light to this beautiful cause.
