    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks on Presenting the Congressional Medal of Honor to Sergeant Dakota L. Meyer September 15, 2011 Thank you, everybody. Please be seated. Thank you, Chaplain Kibben. Good afternoon, everyone. And on behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. It's been said that "where there is a brave man, in the thickest of the fight, there is the post of honor." Today we pay tribute to an American who placed himself in the thick of the fight, again and again and again. In so doing, he has earned our Nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. And we are extraordinarily proud of Sergeant Dakota Meyer. Today is only the third time during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that a recipient of the Medal of Honor has been able to accept it in person. And we are honored to be joined by one of the two other recipients, Sergeant First Class Leroy Petry, who is here. I would point out something else. Of all the Medal of Honor recipients in recent decades, Dakota is also one of the youngest. He's 23 years old. And he performed the extraordinary actions for which he is being recognized today when he was just 21 years old. Despite all this, I have to say Dakota is one of the most down-to-Earth guys that you will ever meet. In fact, when my staff first tried to arrange the phone call so I could tell him that I'd approved this medal, Dakota was at work, at his new civilian job, on a construction site.

BENGS*† All U.S. jurisdictions recognize individual self-defense as an inherent right belonging to each person. As an inherent right, self-defense is rooted firmly in natural law, as opposed to positive law, which entails a revocable grant from a sovereign. This article contends that prior legal recognition of such an inherent right precludes a sovereign from unilaterally limiting an individual military member’s exercise of or claim to self-defense. The story of U.S. Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant Dakota L. Meyer serves as a vehicle for the argument that the U.S.

  • America's Military Profession
    America’s Military Profession: Creating Hectors, not Achilles By Aaron MacLean October 1, 2014 Key points: The US military contributes to the American civic character by fostering and exemplifying the virtues of discipline and courage. The US military is a reminder to Americans that the liberal order they enjoy exists in and needs defending against a world of illiberal forces. Upon reentering civil society, veterans typically bring with them a more pragmatic world view and the virtues inculcated from service, allowing them to contribute resilience to the national civic character. As American society grows increasingly uncomfortable with what the military has to believe and do to be successful on the battlefield, both the national defense and national character are likely to suffer. This essay is the 10th in a series exploring the role of the professions in a modern, liberal democratic society and their effect on the civic culture of the nation. For more information about AEI’s Program on American Citizenship, visit www.citizenship-aei.org. The military provides a clear benefit to the American polity: it is the country’s federal mechanism for the common defense. But what is its relationship to America’s civic culture? Do the professionals the military molds and employs in the nation’s wars affect the civic culture positively, as models of necessary virtues and keepers of specialized professional knowledge necessary to a healthy civic life? Or do they affect the culture negatively, as damaged and occasionally dangerous men perverted by violence? 1 My search for the answer to these questions may as well begin in the village of Ganjgal in Konar Province, Afghanistan, on September 8, 2009.

Many of these Marines return home bearing the scars of war, from amputations to post-traumatic stress to traumatic brain injuries. Some of them don’t come home at all. These sacrifices have a profound and lasting effect on the families they leave behind. Of the 1,494 Marines and Navy Corpsmen that have been killed in action since the wars began, 329 were parents. They left 566 children behind. Thousands more Marines with children have been gravely wounded. No matter how old their children are today, the Marine Corps Scholarship Margaret B. Davis Foundation has committed to help these families. With our Heroes Tribute President and CEO Program for Children of the Fallen and Heroes Tribute Program for Children of the Wounded, we have made commitments to each of these families to help fund their children’s educations when the time comes for them to attend college.

    OF LOCKE AND VALOR: WHY THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION IN UNITED STATES V. ALVAREZ DOES NOT FORECLOSE CONGRESS’S ABILITY TO PROTECT THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS Timothy J. Geverd1 INTRODUCTION On September 8, 2009, Marine Corporal Dakota L. Meyer went above and beyond the call of duty when fifty enemy fighters ambushed his joint United States-Afghani patrol in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.2 After learning that the patrol was cut-off from its exit route, Corporal Meyer manned an exposed gunner position on a truck that a fellow Marine drove towards the fighting.3 As the gun truck entered the field of battle, the lone vehicle drew significant fire from enemy forces.4 However, disregarding the significant risk to his life, Corporal Meyer and his fellow Marine driver repeatedly braved the firefight to evacuate the dead and wounded.5 During the six-hour firefight, Corporal Meyer made a total of five such trips.6 Although Corporal Meyer suffered a shrapnel-wound to his arm on his third run into the firefight, he continued fighting and searching for missing members 1 George Mason University School of Law, J.D.

ALVAREZ CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT No. 11–210. Argued February 22, 2012—Decided June 28, 2012 The Stolen Valor Act makes it a crime to falsely claim receipt of mili- tary decorations or medals and provides an enhanced penalty if the Congressional Medal of Honor is involved. 18 U.

JUSTICE KENNEDY, joined by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, JUSTICE GINSBURG, and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, concluded that the Act infringes upon speech protected by the First Amendment. Pp. 3–18.
