Dakota_Meyer300
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.
It is awarded to those who display courage on the battlefield above and beyond the call of duty.
Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer is a recipient.
He received the Medal of Honor from President Obama two months ago, for his service in Afghanistan.
And yesterday Sergeant Meyer filed a defamation lawsuit against defense contractor, BAE Systems.
Sergeant Meyer was working for the company earlier this year but got into a dispute with his superiors.
Julian Barnes reported the story in today’s Wall Street Journal.
