Three Heroes Honored with Medal of Honor
Description
Three U.S. military heroes—two living and one posthumous—were honored with the Medal of Honor at the White House, each displaying extraordinary courage under fire in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Retired Marine Major James Capers Jr. stayed in command and led his team to safety despite being wounded during a 1967 Vietnam mission. Retired Marine Colonel John W. Ripley, honored after his death, sacrificed his life in 1972 by destroying a key bridge under enemy fire. Retired Army Major Nicholas Dockery, in Afghanistan in 2012, risked his life repeatedly during a deadly ambush to save wounded comrades and direct air support. Their stories are a powerful tribute to unwavering bravery and selfless service.
