Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer reenlists in Marine Corps Reserve, says ‘mission never left’ him
Fox News
Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer re-enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve after nearly 15 years, joined at a ceremony by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"There’s never been a need, like we need right now, of good men and women who are willing to stand up and who are willing defend the beliefs of the American people, of the Constitution, and to protect all of those things against whatever enemy that is willing to try to step up and to try and threaten that." Madison is a production assistant for Fox News Digital on the Flash team.
Meyer received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during a deadly 2009 battle in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province. Amid intense gunfire, he repeatedly drove into the combat zone in a Humvee to rescue fellow Marines and Afghans, saving dozens of lives. He was awarded the nation's highest military honor by President Barack Obama in 2011.
On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth administered the oath of enlistment during a ceremony at the Pentagon. Meyer, now 36, re-enters service with the same rank he held on active duty, sergeant, and will serve as an infantryman in the reserves.
