Vietnam MOH winner with 18 wounds killed 135 to 175 at Camp A Shau

Via Jeffery
 Medal of Honor

I'm humbled as we all should be.


Forty-eight years after surviving 18 wounds during a bloody battle in the A Shau Valley of South Vietnam, retired Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins will receive the Medal of Honor at the White House on Sept. 15.

President Barack Obama will present the nation's highest military honor to the Opelika, Alabama man, who distinguished himself during 38 hours of close-combat fighting and two days of evading the North Vietnamese Army March 9-12, 1966.

    Obama presented the MOH to Sgt. Mgr. Adkins. How could Obama relate to this.
    No way. He does not even like the military. He never served in the military.
    While growing-up, I always believed the president was required to have served
    in the military. Busted again.

      Every person eligible to run for president should be an honorable discharged veteran of the armed forces, period.
