Three Heroes Honored with Medal of Honor
Description
This Thursday, President Trump will honor three heroes — two living and one posthumous — with the Medal of Honor, America’s highest military award. Retired Marine Major James Capers Jr. will be recognized for his fearless leadership in Vietnam in 1967, where he fought through brutal ambushes and severe wounds to save his team. Marine Colonel John W. Ripley, who died in 2008, will receive the honor for his heroic, solo mission in 1972, destroying a vital bridge under enemy fire to halt a major offensive. Retired Army Major Nicholas Dockery will be celebrated for his bravery in Afghanistan in 2012, where he risked everything to evacuate wounded soldiers during a deadly Taliban ambush. These acts of unmatched courage span decades and underscore the profound sacrifice of America’s warriors — and mark one of the largest Medal of Honor ceremonies in modern presidential history.
