Three Heroes Honored with Medal of Honor
Description
Three heroes—two Vietnam veterans and an Afghanistan soldier—receive the Medal of Honor for acts of extraordinary bravery that spanned decades of war. Marine Colonel John W. Ripley, posthumously honored, blew up a bridge under enemy fire in 1972, stopping a major offensive. Marine Major James Capers Jr., wounded in 1967, led his team through an ambush, refusing evacuation until everyone was safe. Army Major Nicholas Dockery, in 2012, risked his life for four hours in Afghanistan, rescuing wounded soldiers and directing air support under fire. This is one of the largest Medal of Honor ceremonies in modern history, celebrating the ultimate sacrifice and courage in combat.
