ASHEBORO, N.C. At most funerals for troops who have died in combat in the Middle East, friends and family crowd into a church to pay tribute to the fallen.
But many attending an April 28 memorial service here for Sgt. Elmer Krause had never met the man.
About 100 people came to Central United Methodist Church to honor Krause, an Army reservist from Greensboro who would have turned 41 on April 26.
His remains were found in Iraq about two weeks after his convoy was attacked April 9. He was assigned to the Army Reserves 724th Transportation Company, Bartonville, Ill.

Thank you for your service. Families of the DUSTWUNs endure some of the hardest pain. The criminal responsible for this attack and the murder of Matt Maupin was reported killed on 11/11/2008. Only two men remain missing now, Altaie and Gilbert. I pray they all come home at last. God bless you and give you peace.
