And with the rain came the North Vietnamese Army in force. Surrounded 10-to-1, the Green Berets endured constant mortar and rifle fire, direct assaults, treasonous allies, and volatile jungle weather. But there was one among them who battled ferociously, like a tiger, and when they finally evacuated, he carried the wounded to safety. Forty-eight years later, Command Sergeant Major Bennie Adkins's valor was recognized when he received this nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Medal of Honor $v Biography. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Reconnaissance operations, American. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Commando operations $z United States. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Campaigns $z A Shau Valley. $z A Shau Valley. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / General. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a A Shau Valley (Vietnam) $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Jackson, Katie Lamar, $e author. 700 1 $a Hagel, Chuck, $d 1946- $e writer of introductory text. 941 $a 6 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020124.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012022546.0 952 $l CLPC792 $d 20220702010459.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529013755.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20190521014012.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F377E9DC688511E8A317244297128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
