Jim Capers Reveals the Brutal Truth Behind His Medal of Honor Story

Major James Capers Jr.’s Medal of Honor is more than a long-overdue award. It is a national recognition of courage, sacrifice, and the men who carried the cost of war long after the battlefield. In this clip, Major Capers reflects on the Phú Lộc mission that finally earned him the nation’s highest military honor nearly 60 years later. Every Marine on his team was wounded. Ammunition ran low. Both of his legs were broken. Still, he kept fighting and refused to leave until his men were on the extraction helicopter. To Major Capers, the Medal of Honor was never about personal glory. As he said, “Won’t bring my men back.” It was an honor to help share his story and recognize the sacrifice of Major Capers, Team Broadminded, and all who served alongside him.
