Artillery Soldiers represent modern military at reenactment event
Soldiers from the Virginia National Guard's Hampton-based Battery B, 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team represent the modern military at the Military Through the Ages event March 16, 2013, at the Jamestown Settlement. Hundreds of reenactors depicting armed forces from the first century to modern times converged on Jamestown for the annual event, and the Virginia Guard Soldiers provided a static display featuring the M119A2 howitzer and answered questions from the attendees about their equipment and the Virginia Guard. The Soldiers also had the opportunity to join a crew to fire some of the period artillery pieces and were recognized with a plaque for their "enduring support" of the event.
