LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Dakota Meyer saved 36 lives from an ambush in Afghanistan and the former Marine will collect the nation's highest military honor at the White House on Thursday. While he is receiving the Medal of Honor, Meyer's slain comrades will be memorialized in hometown ceremonies at his request.
His hero's moment was his darkest day. Meyer lost some of his best friends the morning of Sept. 8, 2009, in far-off Kunar Province.

Hussein already has said what he thinks of military men and women: they make a "good photo op". See: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2009/11/you-guys-make-a-pretty-good-photo-op-president-obama-jokes-to-troops-at-osan-air-base/
And so, true to form, Hussein uses a Marine from Kentucky in the same fashion.

I heard that the beer served at this photo op was this. The Presidents favorite.
It was served to the Medal of Honor recipient in the 40 ounce bottle with the traditional paper bag wrapping.

Wasn’t Obama still sitting on request by McChrystal to increase troop strengths to carry out the Mission that Obama wanted done?

You are right. Drinking Old E without the paper sack would be like drinking Dom Perignon straight from the bottle.

Sad!
The father of my three grandchildren is infantry (Big Red 1...Hoo-ahh) in Kunar.
I don’t think he would grace Obamugabe with some photo-op and beers. He’d convince his superiors to agree to him taking his honorarium and then leave.

To be fair Sgt Meyer requested to have a beer with the President.

One of the few times in my life I had tear of sadness in my eye and was very happy:
Herbert Shughart, Randall Shughart’s father, attended the Medal of Honor presentation ceremony at the White House, where he refused to shake hands with President Bill Clinton.[4] He then proceeded to openly criticize the president, saying, “You are not fit to be president of the United States. The blame for my son's death rests with the White House and with you. You are not fit to command.”[5

This soldier ought to get a medal just for having to have a beer with Obama.

He should have requested this; the only beer (ale) named after a Medal of Honor recipient, and it's a darn good ale.

Come on guys — let’s avoid the ODS. Good on Obama. This Marine hero wanted a beer with his Commander-in-Chief and the president complied. The fact that Obama gets political mileage out of the photo op is irrelevant.
My son is a Marine infantryman and I teared up hearing this story today on the radio. I am going on my 26th year of active duty in the Army myself including some combat tours one of which was along side two MOH winners. Men like this Marine are exactly why we serve.
ps — two guesses on whether my wife considers herself first an “Army Wife” or a “Marine Mom”!
