Medal of honor recipient invited to join crime-fighting superheroes

Filed · 1546

COLUMBIA, KY –Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer reported today that he has received his initial invitation to join the League of Valor, a vigilante crimefighting organization composed of Marines whose amazing acts of heroism have been gradually forgotten by the Marine Corps.

"I was settling in for a nice quiet evening of polishing my gun collection and sharpening my knives, when I heard a muffled thump from outside," Meyer told reporters.

"When I opened the door with the muzzle of my AR-15, I found someone had nailed a letter to my house with this big 'League of Valor' letterhead. Of course they had nailed it through a Mexican drug lord's head, so the rest was hard to read."

According to spokesman Jeremiah Workman, a former Marine and Navy Cross recipient, The League was formed in late 2008 after the Marine Corps began institutionally purging itself of all memories of the Iraq War.
