Battle of the Crater

We are for the most part, in barracks the rest of the summer, but that doesn't mean there aren't any events. The National Park Service will commemorate the Battle of the Crater at Petersburg National Battlefield. If you're in Virginia during your summer travels you may want to check out this event. The historic 6th Infantry Regiment served with distinction in the Petersburg Campaign, winning 2 Medal of Honors.
