TAPS Togethers: Patriot Day with Carry the Load
September 7 - 11, 2024
Join your TAPS family with Carry The Load for a National Day of Service and Remembrance as we beautify sacred grounds at National Cemeteries across the United States.
On Patriot Day, Carry The Load remembers all those who served and sacrificed for our country. We encourage all Americans to take the day to reflect and honor our military, veterans, first responders, and their families, and volunteer with us to clean headstones and beautify VA National Cemeteries across the nation.
