Virginia Conducts First Interment for Reservist

The Virginia Department of Veterans Services held its first internment for a member of the military reserves. The service for CMCN David A. Corona took place last month in Suffolk. Corona was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1996 after serving for eight years. The Burial Equity for Guards and Reserves Act became law last March. Prior to this bill, his family’s request for interment at a Virginia state veterans cemetery would have been denied.
