Adkins was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2014 for his actions during a battle in Vietnam in March 1966. His citation estimates that he killed between 135 and 175 enemy soliders, using a variety of weapons, while saving several American lives.

Where is the ceremony? I'm local(Pike Road) military and I've certainly got nothing better to do than attend.

Searched online, assuming he'll be buried on Ft. Benning. Just a guess.
