President Trump awards the Medal of Honor to three American heroes during a White House ceremony honoring extraordinary acts of valor in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Retired Marine Maj. James Capers Jr. was recognized for leading his reconnaissance team through multiple enemy engagements in Vietnam in 1967, continuing to command his men despite suffering severe wounds and refusing evacuation until every member of his team was safe.

Marine Corps Col. John W. Ripley was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his actions in Vietnam in 1972. Ripley's son accepted the award on his behalf as the nation recognized his role in halting a major North Vietnamese assault by destroying a key bridge under intense enemy fire.

Retired Army Maj. Nicholas Dockery received the Medal of Honor for his actions during a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan in 2012, repeatedly risking his life to rescue wounded soldiers and direct support for his platoon under heavy enemy fire.

The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest military award for valor in combat.

Today on June 18, 2026, President Trump will award the Medal of Honor to retired US Army Green Beret Major Nicholas Dockery for his actions in Afghanistan, 2012.

On 2 October 2012, Lieutenant Dockery’s element of Afghan and US forces was ambushed by a large group of Taliban fighters who engaged the platoon with rifle, machine gun and RPG fire.

In contact, Dockery moved back and forth several times over open ground attempting to rally and reinforce the Afghan units with his own small element. Hearing that one of his Soldiers was wounded, Dockery moved inside a courtyard to defend the small isolated group of US Soldiers.

He assaulted into the next room, killing one enemy fighter. Surrounded by more enemy fighters, Dockery rallied the remaining 4 US Soldiers and continued to defend the courtyard.

As the enemy continued their assault, RPG and grenade blasts suppressed the fire team. Attempting to regain the momentum, Dockery led a counter attack to clear the courtyard, using his body to shield a Soldier from an enemy grenade explosion.

The enemy again attacked the compound with 10 additional fighters. RPG fire and grenades wounded the entire element and destroyed the last covered position of Dockery’s team.

Noticing that one of his NCOs was missing, Dockery moved into a nearby alley and found 2 enemy fighters dragging away an unconscious US Soldier. He assaulted the two fighters and killed them both in close combat, and then began CPR and first aid on the Soldier, ultimately saving his life.

Dockery then moved to the roof of the compound, still under enemy fire, and fired smoke grenades to mark his position for friendly helicopter gunships to suppress the remaining enemy.

Dockery continued serving after his deployment, earning the Green Beret and leading Special Forces teams in some of the military's most demanding assignments.

@rachelbovard Obama was politically talented communicator, how did that work out?

[Alex 🇺🇸 @Based617]

@MichaelDuncan And we let them have more money to rebuild them. Kind of defeat the purpose.

Today on June 18, President Trump will award the Medal of Honor to retired Recon Marine Major James Capers Jr. for his heroism during a 1967 ambush in Vietnam.

Major Capers was shot twice and suffered 17 shrapnel wounds and other injuries during the April 1967 ambush.

Not only did Capers lead his team to safety, but he twice tried to get out of the helicopter carrying the rest of his teammates so that it would be light enough to take off, and had to be pulled back inside by his men.

Major Capers is the first Black Marine to lead a reconnaissance company and to receive a battlefield commission.

The 1967 ambush began when hidden explosives detonated. Capers suffered shrapnel wounds to his abdomen and other parts of his body and a broken leg. Despite his wounds, he ordered a mortar strike on the team’s position to keep the enemy at bay.

Then, even after losing a significant amount of blood and being administered morphine, he led his team to a helicopter landing zone. When a helicopter landed, Capers refused to get on board unless the crew took the body of the team’s military working dog.

Capers was originally awarded the Bronze Star with “V” device for his heroism, which was upgraded to the Silver Star in 2010.

@nicksortor @lou_twin How exactly is Ben Gvir going after Trump? Also, aren't Hezbollah and Hamas the initiators of the attacks?

This will age horrendously and end with a giant "we told you so."

And when it does, which I believe it will, it'll also prove to be the final nail in the coffin of any realistic chance of Vance being elected President of the United States.

If a Republican wins the next election, It'll be Marco Rubio. It won't be Vance. It most certainly won't be, and I struggle to say this with a straight face, Tucker fucking Carlson...

I'll go as far as to say that Vance has buried his political career.

Now, you can disagree, and by all means do. It's my opinion. But I don't think it's an improbable outcome.

He's catering to an audience of one with this, and it's not Donald Trump.

Vance, being the vile scumbag that he is, tore Israel to shreds as his mic drop moment before leaving the briefing room. We now have the Tucker presidency. I would never vote for him and with luck this disaster will reset the Republican Party.
