Major William Edward Adams was a member of the United States Army. He is a posthumous recipient of the military’s prestigious Medal of Honor. Major Adams earned his medal through a show of courage in Vietnam, where he ultimately lost his life.
Background
Adams’ passion for the outdoors started in childhood growing up near Casper, Wyoming. So, it was no surprise that after graduating high school, he found himself at Wentworth Military Academy. This is where his military journey began. In 1962, Adams joined the Army.

For centuries, the Kings of Scotland were crowned on the Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, at the monastery of Scone near Perth, Scotland. Legend has it that the first King of the Scots brought it to Scotland from Ireland and used it in his coronation ceremony.

In 1975, the Swedish company Aimpoint introduced their first red dot reflector electronic sight. With no magnification and a single-point reticle, it was designed for hunters to take low-probability, close-range shots on fast-moving game. The Aimpoint was even housed in a 30mm body, the same as most hunting scopes, so that hunters could easily install it on their existing scope rings. Of course, the same qualities that made the Aimpoint an excellent hunting optic also made it an excellent combat optic.
