Memorial Day! 🎖Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and dedication allow us to enjoy freedom every day.

The Sedalia Police Department invited members of the community to join them in honoring the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty during a Police Officers Memorial Ceremony hosted by the Pettis County Sheriff's Department.

It was an honor to attend.

This ceremony served as a time to remember and reflect on the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of fallen law enforcement officers. 💙🚔

Hi, this is Cathy Edwards, News Director for KDRO. You may have noticed that we no longer have CBS News at the top of the hour anymore. It was announced last month that CBS Radio News was closing shop, ending an almost 100-year run. KDRO has decided to run Fox News at the top of the hour and hope you like our decision. Thank you for listening!
