This is a book about resilience, determination, and love. Love for one's country, family members, and fellow brothers. A love that cannot be severed, even in death. This is the story of Major James Capers, JR (USMC RET.). Born to a family of sharecroppers who were subjugated to prejudiced legal systems, Jim's family fled to Baltimore, Maryland for new beginnings. Their new home would become Jim's pathway to adulthood, marriage, parenting, and leadership. Deemed an American hero, he gleaned courage and humility throughout his time in service. Despite fatalities, battle scars, and post-traumatic experiences, Jim attributes all outcomes to his team's ability to work in unison, and his relentless faith in God to guide him through the storm. "Major Capers, an African-American Reconnaissance Marin, through this book will serve as an inspiration to all who aspire to achieve their dreams." -Major General Cornell Wilson, USMC (Ret.)
