Honoring Heroes at the 2025 Carry The Load Memorial March

On May 17, 2025, the Francisco Mortgage Team proudly participated in the Carry The Load march alongside Spirit of a Hero, walking seven miles through Lantana, Texas, from Lantana Community Church to 511 Fire Station. It was a powerful and emotional event—bringing together families, veterans, first responders, and community members to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

More Than a Walk — A Mission to Remember

Carry The Load is more than a nonprofit—it’s a nationwide movement. Founded by U.S. Navy SEAL veterans Clint Bruce and Stephen Holley in 2011, the organization was born from a desire to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day. Through events like this, Carry The Load brings Americans together to honor the military, veterans, and first responders who laid down their lives for our freedom and safety. By walking, sharing stories, and gathering as a community, participants help ensure that the legacy of our nation’s heroes lives on—not just on Memorial Day, but all year long.

Marching in the Carry The Load event isn’t just symbolic for us. It’s personal. We’ve walked in those boots. We’ve carried those memories. And we know the price of freedom isn’t just paid on the battlefield—it’s paid by the families, the friends, and the communities that continue to carry the load.
