Stanley "Stan" Taylor Adams (May 9, 1922 – April 19, 1999) was a United States Army officer who received the U.S.
military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in the Korean War.
A native of Kansas, Adams fought in World War II as an enlisted soldier.
He was sent to Korea as a sergeant soon after the outbreak of war there, and was awarded the Medal of Honor for leading a bayonet charge against a numerically superior force in early 1951.
