Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient from Greensburg, Ky., on Oct. 31. Meyer recently received the medal, which is the highest military decoration awarded by the U.S. government, for his courageous actions during combat in Afghanistan. “I look at the Kentucky State Police as the Marine Corps of police officers,” said Meyer. “You can receive the highest award there is, but it still doesn’t feel as good as going out and helping people and making a difference,” he said. “The Kentucky State Police do that every day.”
