Featured Hero
Major James Capers, Jr.
U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.)
Major James Capers, Jr. is one of the most highly decorated Force Recon Marines in United States history. Across five combat tours in Vietnam, he led dozens of top-secret missions and is credited with saving countless American lives through extraordinary leadership and courage. He later became the first African American Marine officer nominated for the Medal of Honor.
A lifelong advocate for his fellow veterans, Major Capers shares his personal HBOT journey with HBOT4Heroes to inspire others to explore this proven path to healing. In 2025, he received the Fox Nation Patriot Award in New York City in recognition of his valor, service, and devotion to our country.
We are honored to recognize Major Capers as a lasting symbol of bravery, sacrifice, and perseverance.
