Major James Capers: Force Recon Marine, Medal of Honor Recipient

In 1967, while leading his Marine team to scout an enemy position, Capers was ambushed by superior forces. Claymore mines and machine-gun fire cut down his men. Wounded by shrapnel and bullets, he refused evacuation, dosed himself with morphine, and kept fighting. Struggling to stay conscious, he ensured every man was evacuated before boarding the helicopter himself. He remains a prime example of extraordinary heroism and a beacon of valor. Valor is in you. Set it free.
