"Deep in the thick Vietnamese jungle, Sgt. 1st. Class Bennie Adkins powered through 18 wounds to lead injured comrades to safety, evading enemy soldiers and a stalking tiger on a two-day trek to rescue.

Adkins, now 80 and a retired command sergeant major, earned the Medal of Honor for his tenacity during the four-day battle and escape during the Vietnam War. He will receive the long-delayed medal - nation's highest military recognition - at the White House today..."

Congrats
