Summary
President Trump honored three extraordinary veterans with the Medal of Honor—two Vietnam War heroes and one Afghanistan hero—for acts of unmatched bravery that spanned decades. Retired Marine Major James Capers Jr. led his team through a brutal ambush in ’67, ignoring his own wounds to ensure everyone’s safety. Army Major Nicholas Dockery risked everything in ’12 to rescue wounded soldiers under Taliban fire. And Marine Colonel John W. Ripley, posthumously recognized, blew up a vital bridge alone under enemy fire in ’72. These awards mark one of the largest Medal of Honor recognitions by a modern administration, celebrating sacrifices that changed the course of history.
