Listen to his Medal of Honor citation:

Please take 10 minutes and to the story in his own words:

A couple of quotes from Mr Adkins:

  • “You just do. Quitting isn’t an option.”
  • “The medal doesn’t really belong to me. I’m just a keeper of it for those other 16 in the battle, especially the five who didn’t make it…”

 

Thanks for the opportunity to lead and Purple Haze please keep your pants on.
