Three Heroes Honored for Unwavering Valor
Description
Three legendary veterans—Marine Corps Major James Capers Jr., Army Major Nicholas Dockery, and the late Colonel John W. Ripley—were honored with the Medal of Honor for acts of extraordinary bravery in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Capers, 88, led under fire in 1967, calling in air support despite severe wounds. Ripley, posthumously recognized, destroyed a critical bridge in 1972 under enemy fire, saving countless lives. Dockery, in 2012, risked everything in Afghanistan to rescue wounded troops, perform CPR, and shield a comrade with his own body. Their stories embody ultimate sacrifice and unwavering courage, reminding us why these heroes will never be forgotten.
