Honoring The Fallen


 

 

Above: Officers of the Archbold and Ridgeville fire departments and a Fulton County sheriff deputy salute the hearse carrying the remains of Brandon Kreischer, a U.S. Army paratrooper who was killed in Afghanistan, as the procession passed through Burlington-Elmira. Kreischer was escorted Thursday, Aug. 8, from Toledo Express Airport to Bryan High School for funeral services. Left: As the procession, which included dozens of Patriot Guard motorcyclists, passed by, many stood along the roadside, watching somberly with hands over their hearts and carrying flags to honor the fallen soldier.– photos by David Pugh and Mary Huber
