Apparently , I know it's true . I mean , and , and Major Capers was just barely 18 . Right ?
So they in the field , they put the lieutenant bars on me and then my responsibility now was to carry the rest of the command and keep as many as I could alive . Major capers was the first African American to be commissioned in the battlefield . Yeah .
We can get really excited , don't there ? We got major capers coming to this stage . I believe Ashley Coad is coming back .
Forbidden from dining with white marines , an expert sharpshooter denied recognition due to the color of his skin . Capers pushed ahead , driven by his personal code . My father said , remember if 10 men start up a flight of steps and only one man makes it to the top , you have to believe that you will be that man and it will be .
Thank you so much , Ashley for coming back . And , and , and uh major capers for , for gracing our stage . Uh We , we got to hear so much about you and your story and , and meet Ashley not that long ago and we were both absolutely captivated .
