To show their appreciation to first responders, residents of Independence participated in Hero Honk as part of the Love Independence celebration.

Approximately 30-35 cars got lined up at the Matcor parking lot and slowly headed east in a caravan fashion flashing their hazard lights on Laurel Street to City Hall where the cars circled the building honking their horns. Some car windows were painted while others made signs showing their support of first responders in the Independence area.
