Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.
In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.
That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.
At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.

Slow clap.
