Summary
This Thursday, President Trump will honor three extraordinary heroes with the Medal of Honor — two living veterans and one posthumous recipient — for acts of unparalleled bravery spanning Vietnam, Afghanistan, and decades of American service. Marine Colonel John W. Ripley, who sacrificed his life in 1972 by destroying a critical bridge under fire, Major James Capers Jr., who led his team through a brutal ambush in 1967 despite severe wounds, and Major Nicholas Dockery, who risked everything in 2012 to rescue wounded soldiers under Taliban fire — all will be recognized in a ceremony marking one of the largest Medal of Honor honors of Trump’s second term.
