At the request of Cudworth-Stenz-Griesell-Smith American Legion Post #449, Krause Funeral Home's Cadillac hearse joined their Post in the Brookfield Independence Day Parade. We had an empty flag draped casket in the hearse as a reminder of all the men and women who have fought for our country's freedom. Our Funeral Director, Noah Watry, drove the hearse, accompanied by his son, Mason.

Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice is the reason we gather, reflect, and stand together in gratitude.

We honor not only their service, but the lives they lived — the families they loved, the dreams they carried, and the legacy they leave behind.

May we never forget the cost of freedom, or the people who paid it.
