Thoughts and prayers to Andre Kraus's family and friends...

We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Andrew Kraus, son of MISSION BBQ Co-Founder Bill Kraus, who lost his life alongside three other service members during a flight training.

Mission BBQ, founded right here in Maryland, has always stood on the values of service, sacrifice, and community. They have been unwavering supporters of first responders, including our volunteer fire and EMS members, providing food, encouragement, and generosity during emergencies and times of need.

Today, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Kraus family and the entire Mission BBQ family. We grieve with you as you endure this unimaginable loss.

⭐️ Chief Warrant Officer 3 Andrew Cully, 35, from Sparta, Missouri;
⭐️Chief Warrant Officer 3 Andrew Kraus, 39, from Sanibel, Florida;
⭐️Sgt. Donavon Scott, 25, from Tacoma, Washington; and
⭐️Sgt. Jadalyn Good, 23, from Mount Vernon, Washington
