    Dakota Meyer, 23, hits golf balls in front of his dad's farm in Greensburg, Ky., Aug. 3. Golf is one hobby of many that Meyer enjoys during his off time after a full day of construction work. Meyer will be receiving the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for valor, from President Barack Obama in Washington, Sept. 15, making him the first living Marine recipient since the Vietnam War. Meyer was assigned to Embedded Training Team 2-8 advising the Afghan National Army in the eastern provinces bordering Pakistan. He will be awarded for heroic actions in Ganjgal, Afghanistan, Sept. 8, 2009.
