In 1966 a small band of US Special Forces soldiers spent four grueling days facing down the "tiger" among them. While the rain and mist of an early March moved over the valley, then Sergeant First Class Bennie Adkins and sixteen other Green Berets found themselves holed up in an undermanned and unfortified position at Camp A Shau, a small training and reconnaissance camp located right next to the Ho Chi Minh Trail. 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, and when they finally evacuated, he carried the wounded to safety.
