[Alchase]

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

Does MOH prevent underlying conditions?

Nope, not at all.

“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.

He was the keynote speaker at my sons Special Forces graduation In 2014.  Proud to say I shook the mans hand and talked with him at the various events that went on.  I remember that when he came into the Hotel lobby, everyone stood up and clapped for him, nice moment.
