Best wishes to them!
well congratulations and happy (as opposed to “GAY”) marriage to them.
Bristol Meyer?
A couple picky points, that should read Corps not Corp. (the latter sounds like a business) and unless they kicked you out, you are never “former member.”
Wow. A Medal of Honor winner.
I wish them luck and happiness.
This news makes me happy!
Looks like a very good situation for everybody involved.

May they have a long and happy life together...
Great match! Best news Ive seen all day!
WOW! This is the most awesome news.
Thanks for making my Saturday a whole lot brighter.
I can't wait for the looney tunes left to claim she is just using a decorated Marine to enhance her political ambitions ...
Nothing is beneath them...
Well, good for her. This guy’s certainly got nothing to prove!
So happy for them both. Sounds like she made a good choice this time. I wish them the best and much happiness.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Marine Embedded Training Team 2-8, Regional Corps Advisory Command 3-7, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, on 8 September 2009. Corporal Meyer maintained security at a patrol rally point while other members of his team moved on foot with two platoons of Afghan National Army and Border Police into the village of Ganjgal for a pre-dawn meeting with village elders. Moving into the village, the patrol was ambushed by more than 50 enemy fighters firing rocket propelled grenades, mortars, and machine guns from houses and fortified positions on the slopes above. Hearing over the radio that four U.S. team members were cut off, Corporal Meyer seized the initiative. With a fellow Marine driving, Corporal Meyer took the exposed gunner's position in a gun-truck as they drove down the steeply terraced terrain in a daring attempt to disrupt the enemy attack and locate the trapped U.S. team. Disregarding intense enemy fire now concentrated on their lone vehicle, Corporal Meyer killed a number of enemy fighters with the mounted machine guns and his rifle, some at near point blank range, as he and his driver made three solo trips into the ambush area. During the first two trips, he and his driver evacuated two dozen Afghan soldiers, many of whom were wounded. When one machine gun became inoperable, he directed a return to the rally point to switch to another gun-truck for a third trip into the ambush area where his accurate fire directly supported the remaining U.S. personnel and Afghan soldiers fighting their way out of the ambush. Despite a shrapnel wound to his arm, Corporal Meyer made two more trips into the ambush area in a third gun-truck accompanied by four other Afghan vehicles to recover more wounded Afghan soldiers and search for the missing U.S. team members. Still under heavy enemy fire, he dismounted the vehicle on the fifth trip and moved on foot to locate and recover the bodies of his team members. Corporal Meyer's daring initiative and bold fighting spirit throughout the 6-hour battle significantly disrupted the enemy's attack and inspired the members of the combined force to fight on. His unwavering courage and steadfast devotion to his U.S. and Afghan comrades in the face of almost certain death reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
Loverly!
May God Bless them.
They have both taken enough crap from America’s enemies to last a lifetime.
Good for them. I wish them every happiness.
Dakota Meyer traveled to Alaska about a year ago to tape the final 2014 episode of Amazing America with Sarah Palin for The Sportsman Channel. Not sure if that’s when he first met Bristol or not.
Meyer and Todd Palin have a mutual interest in motorsports. He began racing in the ARCA series in 2012, and he’s driving a class one off-road truck in today’s Mint 400 race. Todd is a long time snow machine endurance racer. Both are also into hunting and fishing.
God bless Dakota, Bristol and their marriage with a long and joyful union.

P.S.: I pity the fool who tries to bully Bristol now. He will have a very angry badass American hero to deal with.
