Staff Sergeant Lucian Adams, a member of the US 3rd Infantry Division, displayed tremendous valor during World War II. In October 1944, Adams led a squad to clear a roadblock and make contact with two cut-off companies. Despite intense enemy fire, Adams single-handedly silenced three enemy machine gun emplacements, killed nine Germans, and captured two more. His actions earned him the Medal of Honor, which was presented to him by General Alexander M Patch in April 1945. Adams continued to serve his country after the war, working as a VA counselor and advocating for veterans' affairs. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 80. [Extracted from the article] |
