38 hours. 18 wounded. Shot 18 times. 47 years for a medal. Bennie Adkins never quit.

Описание: Bennie Adkins was a U.S. Army sergeant during the Vietnam War. In 1966, he fought for 38 hours straight without rest. During that time, he carried 18 wounded comrades to safety, was shot 18 times, and kept fighting while bleeding from his wounds.

Despite his incredible bravery, Adkins didn't receive the Medal of Honor until 47 years later — in 2014. He passed away in 2020, but his story of courage, selflessness, and survival lives on.
