How sad, it took us 47 years to acknowledge he deserved a Medal of Honor, six years later he dies of Covid19.

“During the thirty-eight hour battle and forty-eight hours of escape and evasion, fighting with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades, it was estimated that Sergeant First Class Adkins killed between 135 and 175 of the enemy while sustaining eighteen different wounds to his body.”

RIP.

Reading his citation sure puts this stay home stuff in perspective...first world problems.   :twocents:
