On the 86th anniversary of his passing, a former Virginia National Guard Soldier’s grave receives a plaque commemorating his service and sacrifice thanks to the efforts of the Virginia National Guard’s Enlisted Association and Historical Foundation during a ceremony Aug. 3, 2024, in Richmond, Virginia. Pfc. Claude J. Bohannon was assigned to the Norfolk-based Bravo Battery, 111th Field Artillery Regiment in 1938, when an unfortunate accident involving a tank ended his life during his unit’s annual training. Despite an investigation concluding his death was in the line of duty, his gravesite in Richmond had no recognition of his sacrifice or military service.
