Coronavirus took the life of this great American.


Then-Sgt 1st Class Adkins survived 38 hours of close-combat against North Vietnamese forces while serving as an intelligence sergeant with 5th Special Forces Group at Camp A Shau, in South Vietnam. Adkins served three Vietnam tours in total.

“During the 38-hour battle and 48-hours of escape and evasion, Adkins fought with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades, killing an estimated 135-175 of the enemy and sustaining 18 different wounds," according to the Medal of Honor citation.
