Last Sunday, the Iowa was scheduled for its final voyage, being towed from Richmond, California, south to San Pedro, where it will open as a museum this summer.

But Crowley Maritime Corp., which is supplying the tugboat that will tow the battleship south, postponed the journey after strong winds roughed up waters along the coast.

The forecast has now improved, and the Iowa is scheduled to leave  San Francisco Bay on Saturday, the beginning of Memorial Day weekend.

Bob Rogers, a spokesman for the Pacific Battleship Center, which will operate the ship as a museum in San Pedro, called the latest travel schedule  "very fitting," according to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Between 2 and 3 p.m. PT Saturday, the ship is set to pass under the Golden Gate Bridge, a span Rogers called an important symbol for World War II veterans.

"It was emotional when they went under it because they knew they were going out to war," Rogers told the Chronicle. "But when they came back, they just immediately knew they were home again when they saw the Golden Gate."

Track the battleship's journey south

The journey of the 45,000-ton, 887-foot-long battleship down the California coast will take four days. Its public opening in San Pedro is set for July 7.

The ship, launched in 1942 and decommissioned in 1990, has been part of the mothballed fleet anchored in Northern California's Suisun Bay since 2001, according to a report in the Contra Costa Times. Efforts to turn it into a museum in the Bay Area were unsuccessful over the years.

The Iowa is known as the "Battleship of Presidents," as it has hosted more commanders in chief than any other of its kind. It has a bathtub that was installed especially for President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943.

The Iowa has three sister ships: the Missouri, which is a museum in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; the Wisconsin, a museum in Hampton Roads, Virginia; and the New Jersey, a museum on the Delaware River in New Jersey.

Coleman Ruiz, executive director of Carry The Load, is just one of many veterans making the hike to drive attention and resources to organizations that help surviving military families. They hope it will remind communities of the true meaning of Memorial Day.

In 2011, Clint Bruce, former Navy SEAL, co-founded Carry The Load as a way to honor fallen service members and to remember surviving military families. In its second year, Carry The Load is taking a two-fold approach to fundraising.

Beginning in West Point, New York, communities were invited to participate in the 1,700-mile national relay, which was divided into 5-mile segments. On top of that, the national trek will conclude in Dallas with a nonstop 20-hour, 12-minute walk on Memorial Day.

"It's about putting one foot in front of the other," said Ruiz, who invites individuals from local communities to participate by walking as much or as little as they can. "Walk a mile or walk 50 miles. But just come out and do what every single family across the country who has lost an American service member does. All those families get up every day and put one foot in front of the other. It's the least we can do to show them that we care."

Ruiz knows personally the pain of losing a loved one. In 2007, one of his best friends, Maj. Doug Zembiec, was killed in Baghdad while leading a combat operation.

"There isn't another human being that I've met who can lead men the way Doug could," Ruiz said.

Known among his comrades as the "Lion of Fallujah", Zembiec was often the first to lead his company into and out of dangerous firefights. After completing a tour in Afghanistan in 2004, Zembiec volunteered and redeployed to Iraq in 2007.

Ruiz met Zembiec during a visit to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Zembiec, who attended the academy, hosted Ruiz for the weekend, giving him his first taste of the Navy and Marine Corps. Once Ruiz was accepted to the academy, the two quickly became friends. As teammates on the academy's wrestling squad, both men shared a love of the sport and a passion for the military. "He was a mentor and a brother to me," Ruiz said.

When Carry The Load passed through Washington, D.C., in mid-May, Zembiec's wife, Pam, welcomed Ruiz on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial along with volunteers from around the nation's capital to complete a small portion of the relay over to Arlington National Cemetery.

Pam Zembiec admits she doesn't visit her husband's grave at Arlington often, though she and her 6 year-old daughter, Fallyn, go there every year on his birthday.

"We always put balloons up in the air and sing happy birthday to him and I always explain to her, 'your Daddy did not choose to leave you, your Daddy left because he was a hero,'" she said.

Ruiz insists the relay isn't about those walking the 1,700-mile distance.

"We want the communities that we pass to get involved," he said. "It's the stories of all the surviving families across the country that are really important."

Money raised by the non-profit organization will benefit the Snowball Express, a charity for children of fallen military parents, and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), along with several other local charities.

"Being a Marine, being a father, being a husband, he just gave his all," said Pam Zembiec, who wants her husband to be remembered this Memorial Day for his love of music and Army-Navy football games. "He was passionate about every single thing and we're just happy to have known him as long as we did."

To reiterate the meaning of Carry The Load, walkers are encouraged to bring a memento of their fallen service member, such as a flag, a photograph or a piece of clothing. Ruiz will complete the walk wearing Doug Zembiec's Teva shoes, insisting that they serve not only as a spiritual boost but as a physical one as well.

"I just love the thought of Doug watching me walk or run in them, going berserk and cheering us on," he said.

An aquarium employee was walking alongside the Edogawa River in Chiba Prefecture at 5:30 p.m. and spotted the fugitive penguin, which escaped in March.

The penguin was seen swimming in the river near the Kanamachi water purification plant in Katsushika Ward earlier in the week. Last week, people also saw it thriving and snacking on small fish in Tokyo Bay. It was assumed that the bird was finding some place to rest onshore at night.

The fugitive bird, known as Penguin 337, somehow scaled a 13-foot wall and got through a barbed-wire fence to get into the bay. Aquarium officials believe it escaped through small gaps that cats and frogs can pass through.

Officials from Tokyo Sea Life Park feared the penguin would not survive in the waters of the bay, busy with marine traffic headed for densely populated Tokyo.

"It didn't look like it has gotten thinner over the past two months, or been without food. It doesn't seem to be any weaker. So it looks as if it's been living quite happily in the middle of Tokyo Bay," Kazuhiro Sakamoto, deputy director of the park, told Reuters.

The penguin was filmed by a Japanese coast guard patrol craft on May 7, but the crew was unable to catch it then.

Penguin 337 is one of 135 penguins at Tokyo Sea Life Park.
