We may not make much in this country anymore, but we still produce genuine heroes. A young US Marine named Dakota Meyer was awarded the Medal of Honor today for his heroic action in Afghanistan where he and a buddy made no less than 5 trips into heavy enemy fire to rescue comrades who were getting torn up by a Taliban ambush. Ignoring orders to stay put, he grabbed a Humvee and waded right into the awful mess, saving 36 men's lives and recovering all the dead. Upon meeting the President, he was asked what he wanted, and in true soldier fashion, asked to just have a beer with him, which they did. Instead of the usual Brass and Politicians, only Sgt. Meyer's buddy's were present at the ceremony, fellow Corporals and Sergeants. Read the story here-http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/16/us/dakota-meyer-ex-marine-is-awarded-medal-of-honor.html
