Bill Summary
AN ACT To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to James Capers, Jr., for acts of valor as a member of the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration for valor, to James Capers, Jr., for his courageous actions as a member of the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War between March 31 and April 3, 1967. Importantly, this authorization bypasses the usual time limits for awarding such medals, which are typically found in sections 8298(a) and 8300 of title 10 of the United States Code, and specifically acknowledges that Capers was previously awarded the Silver Star for these same acts of valor.
