Lost his whole team. Hearing those words felt like the heaviest blanket over me. I can't imagine what that makes him feel. Dakota you saved lives that day and those people you saved will never forget what you've done but neither will you. Live on for your brothers. Semper fidelis, Marine.

The United States Marine Corps is a 'Golden Thread' That runs through all good things that are American! Brit.

Caring and compassionate, yet tougher than hardened steel. US Marines.

Great example of true patriot, and yet so humble.

Fucking unbelievable act of valor. Truly staggering. Unbelievable he lived through it.

Dakota, your the epitome of manhood. ps much respect to the Marine Corp from Ireland, we're glad to have you lads on our side...

Semper Fi !!!! One of the reasons a brother is always a brother. I can't wait till I join 2 years !!

And he worked with special needs ! This man is awesome 👏🏼 I love you man !

Dakota, you a true hero. God bless you

Made me proud to be an American and an Army Soldier of the Vietnam War. Thank you Sgt. Dakota Meyers!

Simply amazing. I am so proud to be an American.

When you go straight 5 times BACK into enemy territory ,, that's unmatchable, unthinkable, and an insane thing to do ,,, but as martyr Dacota said , never leave a man behind ,he stood to his words ,and to the oath that every soldier takes .. this inspiring story must be included in textbooks so that the younger generation could realise the cost of their freedom ,,, Salute from India . Jai Hind .

i enjoyed this about the marines ,those are high honers i honer the us marines my husband was in there27 years ,they are tough men an very smart god bless the men that honer an put their lives fighting to save our lives amen

Proud to be a USMC Veteran.

Semper Fi!! We need more like you!!! God Bless you!

God bless you and your mother milk ,raised man , son , friend , brother , future father and COUNTRY HERO, MEDAL OF HONOUR WORTHY MARINE . But he is steel on the ground hardly. Thank you sir . I apologize for my English is not my first language . Salute from ALBANIA BROTHER . WISH YOU HEALTH , SUCCESS , SAFE AND HAPPY LIFE . Respect to you and all your brothers and every single Soldier .

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem." This is why Marines should never be under the control of Army leadership /lack of leadership. Sgt Meyer, you have accomplished a mission that many others will never comprehend unless they have worn the boots. Thank-You for showing me that The Marines still have a Brotherhood. USMC RET.

Wow... I'm speechless and strive to be just like Srgt. Dakota. I salute you.

One thing you have to say about this guy. He is a worker and a leader he knows how to connect and how to handle a situation

Goosebumps all over I wanna be like this guy

I was handed down my great-grandpa's medal of honor that he was awarded for his actions in iwo gima.

Thank you MARINE, GOD BLESS .

If only every one could be as brave as this man..

Outstanding!! SEMPER Fi

Is no one going to talk about the fact that he beat a taliban fighter to death with a fucking rock? That's metal as fuck

Just another example why Marines are a cut above, and a step beyond the rest of the world! OORAH! Job well done Marine! Semper Fi!

his dads name is Mike Meyer's, Fuck that. but this solder went back 4 times in a kill zone to make sure his brothers were safe, good patriot!

Wow. I'm Familiar with the Marines, our way of life, so on... but that act takes a little more something special, different, an act of God if you will... to be able to stand up after that story took place. Semper Fi Cpl Meyer! You are selfless, and your acts of bravery and dismissal of sacrifice confirms you deserve this medal! Hopefully you get some R&R Stay strong and God Bless!

damn, he is like a movie character,'... he is american all the way, the whole nine yards,' born in the countryside, grew up in a farm, kicking challenges in the butt, helps people in needs, hero to many, love his guns, rank of sergeant in military, medal of honor recipient, and most of all he's a marine,'...

Outstanding. .... SEMPER FI

im just 12 but when im older i want to also join and these kind of people just like Dakota inspire me.

Semper Fi Marine. truly inspiring

SEMPER FI!

A selfless Hero 👏👏👏

I have watched several of these ceremonies of various presidents presenting the Medal of Honor. i must say, they all the recipients have the same look on thier faces, like they don't deserve it and they wish the circumstances were different. That's how i know they deserve it. They weren't looking for it.

Read this dude's memoir. I read it in middle school and it was fuckin great

This is one hell of a man.

*FUCK YEAH*

definitivo ,Dakota un gran en

Semper Fi !!! Sgt. Dakota Meyer

Semper fi!

Every MoH recipient is saluted regardless of by who.

Quoting 5FDP No one gets left behind

Dakota looks like the Marine that was at my cousin's military wedding. The guy my cousin married was a Sargeant too, also stationed in Hawaii.

Semper Fi brother... Stay moto!

wish I had the balls to be a marine

Good ol COP Monte. I went from Abad to monte to bostic all in one day it’s not a fun drive did that a few times a week for 12 months. RCP

Anyone wondering what the"special needs"student will think when he sees this? My guess is if Dakota had any effect on him at all the student will tell them to rake their "special needs"title and stick it where the sun dont shine.

We solute you!

He deserved way more...

He did. I think a Silver Star.

OORAH! brother !
