    John McCaskill speaks during a remembrance service for U.S. Army Spc. 5 Calvin Bouknight in Section 38 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., May 20, 2024.

    Bouknight was a medic for the 7th Calvary Regiment, 1st Calvary Division. On Nov. 14, 1965, his unit was involved in the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley, the first major U.S. offensive of the Vietnam War. During the battle, Calvin was assigned to stay near his platoon leader, U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Dennis Deal, and attend to the wounded. While saving the lives of four other soldiers, he was shot and killed. These action lead to him being posthumously awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart.

    Until recently, Bouknight’s Silver Star designation was not listed on his headstone at ANC. Through the joint efforts of John McCaskill and ANC senior leadership, this error was remedied. The remembrance service was to commemorate Bouknight’s updated headstone and included a wreath-laying at Bouknight’s headstone by his family.
