Join the community in honoring the true spirit of Memorial Day at the “Carry the Load” rally in Congers. This event is part of a significant 3,000-mile relay walk that spans 29 days, carrying the American flag from West Point, NY to Dallas, TX. The rally will take place on Monday, April 29, from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at the Congers Train Station Park.
“Carry the Load” is a patriotic event designed to remind us of the sacrifices made by our military, veterans, first responders, and their families. The journey aims to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day, focusing on reverence and remembrance.
For those wishing to actively participate in the event, there is an opportunity to walk with the American flag into the park. Participants should meet at the corner of Old Haverstraw Road and Patricia Avenue by 6:15pm to join in the flag procession.
This event provides a powerful opportunity for the community to come together in commemoration and reflection, supporting the ongoing relay and its profound message. Whether participating in the walk or cheering from the sidelines, your presence can contribute to the event’s success and significance.
