MILITARY - Medal of Honor Winner, Srg. Dakota Meyer

"Marine's Actions in Afghanistan Earn Medal of Honor, Become Stuff of Folklore" PBS Newshour 9/15/2011

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): Even in the annals of the nation's highest military decoration, the actions of Marine Srg. Dakota Meyer were extraordinary.

Two years ago, Meyer, joined by fellow Marine Juan Rodriguez-Chavez, went directly into a hail of enemy fire in the Ganjgal Valley of Afghanistan's Kunar Province, rescuing 36 U.S. and Afghan comrades caught in a Taliban ambush.
