The daily noon flag salute at Mission BBQ in Alexandria (Fairfax County) carries extra weight this week following the death of Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Kraus, son of the restaurant chain’s co-founder Bill Kraus.
Kraus, 39, was among four elite “Night Stalker” soldiers killed when their MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed during routine training at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state on September 17, according to CBS News.
