Day is done… Gone the sun From the lake… From the hills… From the sky. All is well… Safely rest God is nigh. Fading light…. Dims the sight And a star…. Gems the sky…. Gleaming bright From afar…. Drawing nigh Falls the night. ~ Taps by Major General Daniel Butterfield

Arlington Media was honored to capture the arrival of American Airlines flight 1966 at Washington Reagan National Airport early this afternoon. This flight was carrying the remains of the late Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins of Opelika, Alabama. In the words of his foundation, “Bennie Adkins served this country for more than twenty years in the United States Army, the majority of his time spent in Special Forces (Green Berets). He was deployed to Vietnam three times, and during his second deployment was involved in heroic efforts which eventually led to the awarding of the Medal of Honor in 2014. After his retirement at the rank of Command Sergeant Major he continued his education, eventually obtaining his Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees from Troy University. He then established his own accounting firm and operated for 22 years until retirement. It is this legacy of service, sacrifice, and commitment that we look to continue by offering educational assistance through scholarships to Special Forces soldiers.” CSM Adkins left a legacy of honor and sacrifice. One we are humbled to capture through our work.

The US Army Caisson Team leads a full honors Marine Corps service through the Millennium Section in Arlington National Cemetery. Many notable Marines are buried on these hallowed grounds. Among them include Medal of Honor recipient John Basilone. During World War II, John Basilone was awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism in combat at Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, in October 1942. According to his Medal of Honor citation, he “at great risk of his life and in the face of continued enemy attack, battled his way through hostile lines with urgently needed shells for his gunners, thereby contributing in large measure to the virtual annihilation of a Japanese regiment.” Basilone returned home to a hero’s welcome, including a parade featured in “Life” magazine. But he requested to return to combat, stating that he was just “a plain soldier” who belonged with his unit. On February 19, 1945, Basilone was killed in action leading an assault off the beaches of Iwo Jima. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the only enlisted Marine to be honored with both the Navy Cross and the Medal of Honor. He is buried in Section 12, Grave 384 at @arlingtonnatl
