Now that I have had a chance to read the Marine Corps and Army reports at least in part I think he did deserve the award. the original article post here is very vague though I am at a loss to explain why as the information is readily available through a Google search. However Cpl Meyer was not the only one that met the criteria for the MOH in that action as I suspected. Here is an article in the Marine Corp Times:

The Army officers that stopped the artillery barrage should be tossed into the stockade as far as I am concerned.

I will still exercise my right to form my own judgement, state my own opinion, even if it means someone wants to exercise their right to call me names.


Congratulations Corporal Meyer! HOOAH!
