Jack Wright became emotional when retired Maj. James Capers pinned a Bronze Star Medal with combat distinguishing device on his chest during a ceremony at the MacDill Air Force Base officers club Oct. 27. Wright was a private first class with 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company when his patrol was ambushed July 29, 1966. Point man for the patrol, Wright was severely wounded by enemy fire. Shouting warnings to his team, he provided suppressive fire against the enemy, killing two enemy soldiers. (Marine photo/Staff Sgt. Ethan E. Rocke)
