25:21Now PlayingPresident Trump will preside over a medal of honor ceremony Thursday for heroes in the Vietnam and Afghanistan wars.
Task & Purpose reported Maj. James Capers Jr., who led his Marine reconnaissance team through a harrowing ambush despite serious wounds, will be awarded the highest military honor.
In April 1967, Capers led a nine-man team from 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company to a helicopter landing zone despite suffering bullet and shrapnel wounds and a broken leg.
“It was an attempt to save my troops,” Capers told Task & Purpose this week. “It wasn’t heroism. It might have looked that way, but it wasn’t about Jim Capers. It was about the 10 men that I had and the dog’s body that I wanted to get home.”
NewsNation's Kellie Meyer reported that Maj. Nicholas Dockery will also be awarded for his heroic action in 2012 defending his platoon against a large Taliban ambush in Afghanistan.
