Title: Semper Fi: Marine Who Saved 36 in Afghanistan Receives Medal of Honor

President Obama on Thursday bestowed the nation's highest military honor on Dakota Meyer, a young and humble Marine who defied orders and barreled straight into a ferocious "killing zone" in Afghanistan to save 36 lives at extraordinary risk to himself.

"You did your duty, above and beyond," Obama told Meyer after reciting his dramatic story. Though the corporal and a fellow Marine were going against orders -- commanders considered their effort too dangerous -- they were doing what they thought was right, Obama said.

The president placed the Medal of Honor ribbon around Meyer's neck, patted his back and shook his hand as the audience in the White House East Room applauded.

At age 21, Meyer charged through heavy insurgent gunfire on five death-defying trips in an armored Humvee to save 13 Marines and Army soldiers and an additional 23 Afghan troops pinned down by withering enemy fire.

Meyer killed at least eight insurgents despite suffering a shrapnel wound in his arm as he manned the gun turret of the Humvee and provided covering fire for the soldiers, according to the military.

He had been supporting a patrol on Sept. 8, 2009, into a village in the Ganjgal Valley on the day of the ambush.

Meyer and the other Americans had gone to the area to train Afghan military members when, suddenly, the village lights went out and gunfire erupted. About 50 Taliban insurgents on mountainsides and in the village ambushed the patrol.

As the forward team called for air support that wasn't coming, Meyer, a corporal at the time, begged his command to let him head into the incoming fire to help.

Four times he was denied his request before Meyer and another Marine, Staff Sgt. Juan Rodriguez-Chavez, jumped into the Humvee and headed into the fray. For his valor, Rodriguez-Chavez, a 34-year-old who hailed originally from Acuna, Mexico, would be awarded the Navy Cross.

"They told him he couldn't go in," said Dwight Meyer, Dakota Meyer's 81-year-old grandfather, a former Marine who served in the 1950s. "He told them, `The hell I'm not,' and he went in. It's a one-in-a-million thing" that he survived.

Meyer and Rodriguez-Chavez began evacuating wounded Marines and American and Afghan soldiers to a safe point. Meyer made five trips into the kill zone, each time searching for the forward patrol with his Marine friends -- including 1st Lt. Michael Johnson -- whom Meyer had heard yelling on the radio for air support.

With Meyer and Rodriguez-Chavez ready to test fate a fifth time, a UH-60 helicopter arrived at last to provide overhead support. Troops aboard the chopper told Meyer they had spotted what appeared to be four bodies. Meyer knew those were his friends and he had to bring them out.

"Dakota, I know you've grappled with the grief of that day, that you said your efforts were somehow a failure because your teammates didn't come home," the president said. "But as your commander in chief and on behalf of everyone here today and all Americans, I want you to know it's quite the opposite."

Meyer chatted informally Wednesday evening, on a patio outside the Oval Office, over a beer. In the ceremony, Obama praised Meyer's humility and work ethic, noting that he would not even take a call from the president during his shift at a construction job because he was working. He's now out of the Marines. So they two arranged to talk over his lunch hour. Obama jokingly kidded him with thanks for taking the call.

The deaths of Meyer's comrades prompted an investigation into events that day, and two Army officers were later reprimanded for being "inadequate and ineffective" and for "contributing directly to the loss of life." Along with Meyer's friends, a fifth American -- Army Sgt. Kenneth W. Westbrook, 41, of Shiprock, N.M. -- was fatally wounded in the ambush. Meyer had said he would be humbled by the memory of his fallen comrades as he received the award Thursday. There were to be separate memorial events, including one at a Columbus, Ga., cemetery for gunnery sergeant Johnson, a father of three who served nearly 13 years in the Marine Corps.

Will Duke, one of the organizers of the tribute, said the memorials spoke volumes about Meyer.

"I can tell by his actions, not only the actions he took in earning the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan but also the actions he is taking now. Essentially by requesting these memorial services for his fallen comrades, he's saying this is about them," Duke said.

Again underscoring what you don't understand, The CIC presented the Medal.

The Medal is presented by the Commander in Chief.

The Medal of Honor is almost always presented by the President and Commander-in-Chief. A notable exception was the award to Capt. William McGonagle who was commanding officer of the USS Liberty. That particular MOH was presented by the Secretary of the Navy. See here for more about this by a Liberty crewman.

An excerpt from this article...

www.mohm.o rg/recipient_pa...oh_recipient_history.html

The first Medals of Honor were presented by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to six of the surviving members of Andrew's Raiders on March 25, 1863. While these were the first medals presented, the first heroic act for which the Medal of Honor was given occurred February 13, 1861. It was on that date, Army Assistant Surgeon Bernard J.D. Irwin rescued 60 soldiers of 2d Lt. George Bascom's unit at Apache Pass, AZ. The Medal of Honor was also presented to several individuals for heroic acts performed before the Medal of Honor was authorized by Congress in December 1861.

Honor him...enough of this bullshit...

And your nonservice has you talking about things you don't know about, you just think you do..... Here, I will put it in plain and simple terms for you........

"Demanding" respect for accomplishments/incompetance that do not "Command" respect is about as bullshit as it gets.... Especially when during the course of these accomplishments/incompetance all vestiges of honor, loyalty, courage, duty, country, unselfishness, integrity and repect get kicked to the curb!!!!

Those items that I listed above about honor, duty, loyalty....etc....etc... (and many more) is what is expected from every last service member every single day (on and off duty) of his career...... Yet your boy who is supposed to be their CIC displays none of those traits!! Why is that???? (I'd give even money that he thinks those traits are B.S.)... So if you think he should be respected for acting like a putz then you might as well go elsewhere, cause you aren't going to get any here and you have some learning to do....

And oh by the way your Messiah gets blown off everyday, most of it doesn't make it to the front pages because the MSM doesn't want him looking bad..... but never the less it happens...... So I'm not the only one who feels this way..... in fact more and more people are seeing what I see... so get used to it.....

I will honor/respect the CMH winner because his accomplishments "Command" honor/respect, and will withold those same things from the "ZERO"...... end of story.....

Shouldn't surprise you. The Left has learned not to screech 'baby killer' over the past 3 decades.

That they still view the military as a path for 'dead enders' is clear enough if you pay attention. Remember Kerry in 04? 'you end up in Iraq'?

Then there is the routine downplaying of 'type' of service, a game played by those that never served. If you didn't walk 'point' in a combat zone, you aren't 'good enough' for them.

The bottom line is 5% of all living Americans have served this nation via the military...and the Left despises them all, they just know saying it as public figures kills them politically.
