On Saturday, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4265 and American Legion Post 62 members gathered on the side of Colorado Highway 13 for a dedication ceremony. The veterans were there to name Moffat County’s portion of the highway after Adams, the U.S. Army pilot whose heroic efforts to rescue wounded soldiers in Vietnam resulted in him posthumously receiving the highest military distinction our country has to offer.
