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.

This bill grants the President the authority to award the Medal of Honor to James Capers, Jr., recognizing his extraordinary acts of valor while serving in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. A key provision of this legislation is the waiver of existing time limitations specified in sections 8298(a) and 8300 of title 10, United States Code, which would otherwise prevent such an award. The acts of valor for which James Capers, Jr., is to be recognized occurred between March 31 and April 3, 1967 . These actions, performed as a member of the Marine Corps, previously earned him the Silver Star . This authorization aims to elevate the recognition of his distinguished service and bravery.
