Allows the President to award the Medal of Honor to Marine James Capers Jr. for heroism in Vietnam (March 31–April 3, 1967), despite normal time limits. Key change: a one-time exception so a past act can receive the nation’s highest military award. Effects: formally recognizes his bravery, corrects a delay, honors veterans’ sacrifices, and may boost military and public morale. Minimal impact on daily life or cost.
