Lieutenant Fred Hartig


.
PFC Richard E. Kraus




Kraus-Hartig VFW is named in memory of two local heroes. PFC Richard E. Kraus and LT Fred Hartig, both of whom served with distinction and honor in the armed services. These two heroes, among many, answered the country's call to duty and showed what serving their country really means. The biographies of these two gentlemen can be viewed in the 50th Anniversary Celebration Book, published by Kraus-Hartig VFW in 1996. Kraus-Hartig VFW Post #6587 received its Charter on April 4, 1946 and has been helping the community ever since.
