The bill to upgrade retired Marine Corps Maj. James Capers Jr.’s Silver Star Medal to the Medal of Honor (House Resolution 3377), backed by bipartisan lawmakers, seeks to honor the extraordinary valor of a Vietnam-era Recon Marine who risked his life to save his team. In March 1967, despite severe injuries from enemy claymore mines and heavy fire near Phú Lộc, Vietnam, Capers led a counterattack, coordinated support, and ensured his Marines’ evacuation before his own, earning the Silver Star in 2010. His heroism, comparable to Medal of Honor recipient 2nd Lt. Terrence Graves, demands the nation’s highest recognition. With strong support from 41 representatives and six senators, this bill reflects a commitment to righting past oversights for Vietnam veterans. Congress must act swiftly! Pass House Resolution 3377 now and deliver the Medal of Honor to a true American hero!
