Moreover, Hauser has made time to praise the sacrifice of fellow Americans while he’s out in Montana filming. Yellowstone Season 5 is well underway, and the actor’s tribute comes just a few days after his initial filming update for fans:

Indeed, the Yellowstone star is no stranger to patriotism. On Monday, April 18, The Cody Stampede Parade announced that Hauser will be the Grand Marshal for their proceedings this Independence Day in Wyoming.

Committee president Mac Frost made the announcement, citing that Grand Marshal Cole Hauser will be “carried down Sheridan Avenue in the Cody Stampede Parade on July 4.”

“Cody will welcome Cole Hauser as Grand Marshal of the July 4th Parade!” cites the Wyoming county’s Chamber of Commerce via their official Twitter. “With 150 years of Yellowstone National Park, there’s nobody better to officiate in the proud and patriotic Cody Stampede Parade!”

Hauser’s involvement also comes as part of the 2022 theme: Yellowstone. The original namesake, Yellowstone National Park, will feature alongside. Specifically, the theme will be: Yellowstone – 150 Years of Wild and Wonder. Cam Sholly, Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, will serve as a fellow Guest of Honor.
