White House says Dakota Meyer denied invitation to Medal of Honor ceremony due to scheduling conflict
A viral rumor has circulated claiming that former U.S. Marine Dakota Meyer, the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, was stripped of his award after refusing to endorse a new White House policy. The claim is FALSE. Official records confirm that Meyer remains a Medal of Honor recipient in good standing. The rumor appears to have originated from a satirical news site, and no such policy or revocation has occurred. While Meyer has been vocal on political issues in the past, there is no evidence of any official action against his medal.
