First Sgt. Robert Pinn served in Company I of the 5th United States Colored Troops, also known as the 127th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. On Sept. 29, 1864, during the Battle of New Market Heights, Va., Pinn took command of his company after all the officers had been killed or wounded and gallantly led it through the battle. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. In August 2025, Fort Walker, Va., formerly Fort A.P. Hill, was redesignated as Fort A.P. Hill again, this time in recognition of Medal of Honor recipients Pvt. Bruce Anderson, Pinn and Lt. Col. Edward Hill. Pinn’s legacy lives on as part of the installation’s revived name.
