a 250year tradition of the bravest and greatest heroes ever to walk the earth. But only a few have received our highest military distinction, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Today, we present this award.
Glittering Generalities Vague, emotionally positive superlatives used to evoke pride and reverence without specific factual content — for example: 'bravest and greatest heroes ever to walk the earth'
Exaggeration/Hyperbole Extreme superlative claim that overstates beyond what evidence could support — for example: 'greatest heroes ever to walk the earth'
Flag-Waving Patriotic, religious, or in-group identity invoked to validate a position.
Slogans Catchy phrase used to compress a complex position into an emotionally loaded shorthand.
It's the greatest of awards to three new recipients. Marine Corps Major James Capers in Vietnam. The core promoted him from staff sergeant directly to second lieutenant.
Unusual, making Jim the first black marine in history to receive a battlefield commission in the middle of a war. Jim, the nation kept you waiting far too long. So I say to you, congratulations.
You made it. Next, we honor another legend of the United States Marines who is sadly no longer with us. Colonel John W.
Ripley for his heroic deeds. John Ripley was given the Navy Cross and today we posumously award him the highest of all awards, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Army Major Nicholas Dockery.
In his final act of unbelievable valor that day, Nick climbed his way to the open roof where he was again vulnerable to Taliban gunfire at highest levels. He signaled enemy positions with smoke grenades, allowing American gunships to come to the platoon's rescue. Major Dockery, you were the last man to depart the battlefield that day, and you left it a legend and a hero.
We proudly award you the Congressional Medal of Honor.
