Memorial Day quickly approaches, and this year I will once again be joining team Task Force Fallen Warriors (TFFW) at the Dallas Carry The Load event.
What is Carry The Load?
Carry The Load is a non-profit organization that provides an interactive way for Americans to remember, honor and celebrate Memorial Day in dedication to those who sacrifice for us daily. Carry The Load holds events all over the country, including a National Relay that starts in West Point, NY on April 29 and ends in Dallas, TX on May 25.
You can learn more about Carry The Load here.
Perhaps the best way to see what Carry The Load is all about is to watch the two videos below. The first is a recap of all Carry The Load events, which includes the National Relay, and the second video is a recap of the Dallas event that I participated in last year.

At the 1:07 mark you’ll see me along with Monderno Contributors Brad and Matt, and two other TFFW team members out on the trail.
Dallas Memorial March 2014
I will be flying into Dallas on May 25 to join my friend, Monderno contributor and team captain Brad, Dean from 2 Vets Arms, Bill Coye of Coye Knives fame, and the rest of TFFW for the event. If you would like to join us we would love to have you, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Please note that you do not have to walk the entire time – you can walk as much or as little as you want – nor do you have to wear a pack.
My buddy Matt from Claymore F.T.E. was kind enough to design this year’s TFFW logo, and if you’d like to purchase a t-shirt for the event you can do so on his Society6 website.

Hope to see you there!
Awesome! Hope to make it this year!
Brandon,
What color shirt is everyone ordering for this year? I just signed up for the team.
Hey man, I ordered a couple different colors, Tri-Black and Tri-Coffee, but you can get whatever color you want.
I Copy. I’ve got a stack of Monderno vinyl graphics for you as well. I can bring them to Dallas, or send them to you.
Awesome! Just bring them to Dallas, no sense in paying for shipping.
Looking forward to this..
