NATIONAL DAY OF 

SERVICE AND REMEMBERANCE

In Honor of 9/11, Patriot Day

For many of us September 11th with forever be a day of remembrance for the tragic events in 2001.  To honor the sacrifices of our military, veterans, first responders and their families, a team from Eggleston partnered with Carry the Load and thousands of volunteers from across the nation to clean headstones and beautify the grounds at more than 60 VA National Cemeteries.

Carry The Load is a non-profit organization that provides active ways to connect Americans to the sacrifices made daily by our military, veterans, first responders, and their families. What started in 2011 as a grassroots effort by two veteran U.S. Navy SEALs to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day has now grown into a nationwide movement with people volunteering throughout the year to honor and remember our nation’s heroes.

Eggleston’s Warrior Bridge Veterans program is proud to support veterans with disabilities by connecting them to vital resources, services and employment. The Warrior Bridge program uses a person-centered approach to promote self-sufficiency through satisfying employment regardless of when they served or discharge status. Warrior Bridge is dedicated to bridging the gap between resources, support, and sustained employment for veterans with disabilities.
