Mark Owens, a JP Morgan SA Vets BRG lead, said the walk carries a personal meaning for him.
“I’ve lost a soldier, you know, in 2005, Sergeant Maraviosa, she passed away on Christmas Eve,” Owens said. “Her family got notified on Christmas Day, and it’s those that stay with you and everyone else that’s fallen before you, that stays with you. That’s what this is all about. It’s honoring our veterans, honoring our fallen.
” Fellow BRG lead Manuel Donias carried 20 pounds of weight in his bag, each pound a tribute to someone he served alongside.
“It’s for people that I knew, that I served with, and also first responders that I served with as well, too, that have lost their life in the line of duty,” Donias said. “So in my honor, I carry them. That’s what Carry the Load means: to carry the person that is no longer with us. ”Madalynn Lambert is a Reporter at KSAT-12.
