Arlington Media was honored to capture the arrival of American Airlines flight 1966 at Washington Reagan National Airport early this afternoon. This flight was carrying the remains of the late Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins of Opelika, Alabama. In the words of his foundation, “Bennie Adkins served this country for more than twenty years in the United States Army, the majority of his time spent in Special Forces (Green Berets). He was deployed to Vietnam three times, and during his second deployment was involved in heroic efforts which eventually led to the awarding of the Medal of Honor in 2014. After his retirement at the rank of Command Sergeant Major he continued his education, eventually obtaining his Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees from Troy University. He then established his own accounting firm and operated for 22 years until retirement. It is this legacy of service, sacrifice, and commitment that we look to continue by offering educational assistance through scholarships to Special Forces soldiers.” CSM Adkins left a legacy of honor and sacrifice. One we are humbled to capture through our work.
