Bennie Adkins will be presented the Medal of Honor by President Obama for extraordinary valor in Vietnam in 1966. I knew Bennie -- he was a member of my "A" Detachment (7th Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, NC) in 1962. We had one particularly interesting mission that I will only discuss in private conversation.
What I remember admiringly and affectionately about Bennie is that he was a dedicated practitioner of the "Travel Light/Freeze at Night" school of rucksack packing. Props to Bennie.
