In **March–April 1967**, then-Second Lieutenant **James Capers Jr.** led a nine-man Force Reconnaissance team on a dangerous four-day patrol in South Vietnam.

During the final day, his team was ambushed by a much larger enemy force. Capers suffered **17 shrapnel wounds and two gunshot wounds**, including a broken leg.

Even after receiving morphine, Capers refused to abandon his command.

He made sure **every one of his Marines was evacuated before he finally boarded the helicopter himself**. ([Congressional Medal of Honor Society][1])

His actions originally earned him the **Silver Star**, but efforts to upgrade the award were delayed for decades. Congress eventually authorized the Medal of Honor in 2026. ([The White House][2])

Then, on **June 18, 2026**, President Donald Trump presented the **88-year-old retired Major James Capers Jr.** with the Medal of Honor at the White House. ([U.S. Army][3])

his country finally gave him its highest military recognition.
