Dakota Meyer

Dakota Meyer is a United States Marine Corps veteran and Medal of Honor recipient, honored for his extraordinary bravery during a 2009 battle in Afghanistan where he risked his life to save fellow Marines and Afghan soldiers. After 15 years out of uniform, Meyer made headlines with his recent decision to re-enlist in the Marine Corps Reserve, driven by a profound sense of unfinished duty and a desire to inspire others to serve. His commitment to military service reflects his belief in the importance of defending American values and serving a greater purpose, and he hopes to motivate young Americans to consider military careers during a time of growing recruitment challenges.
