MAJ Brandon Price commissioned from the Virginia Military Institute as an Infantry Officer in 2007. His active duty assignments include Rifle Platoon Leader, HHC Executive Officer, Scout Platoon Leader, and Aide-de-Camp to the Deputy Commanding General of Operations at FT Campbell, KY with 2-506th Infantry and the Division Headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault); and as a Plans Officer in the Division Headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Division at FT Stewart, GA. He served three deployments to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
MAJ Price joined the Virginia Army National Guard in 2013 and has served in 3-116th Infantry as Assistant Operations Officer, Rifle Company Commander, and Battalion S-3. He served one deployment with the National Guard to Qatar in support of Operation Spartan Shield.
His awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal and the Army Achievement Medal, the Combat Infantryman, Parachutist, Pathfinder and Air Assault Badges, and the Ranger Tab.
He and his wife Bethany have been married for over ten years and are the proud parents of Chloe and Jacob.
This is always very sad news to report, but since our last festival the weekend prior to Memorial Day, we lost another soldier from Virginia. His name was Dakota Kyle Rigsby and he was just 19 years old. He was a member of the United States Navy and was a Volunteer Firefighter in his home community here in Virginia.
We invite everyone to attend the service at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 26th, at the Shenandoah VFW where everyone present can remember this young man with honor for his service and sacrifice.
Remembering and honoring all US Veterans, who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, is the reason for our annual festival now in its 21st year.
Some of Mr. Rigsby's family and friends will be present at this service and we hope you will join us too. Please invite your family and friends to this service to pay tribute to Mr. Rigsby. Below are just a few of the news articles with more details about Mr. Rigsby.
