During an attack on September 8, 2009 in the Kunar Province, he evacuated 12 people and provided cover for 24 while they were under enemy fire from insurgents. He received his medal in a ceremony two years later from President Barack Obama, requesting that those who lost their lives and were critically injured during the attack two years earlier also be remembered.

'Wonder if any ISIS members want to drop by and join my book club': Meyer taunted ISIS on social media last year, an action that was applauded by many in the public and armed forces . Last December, Meyer ignored requests from the FBI that individuals not taunt ISIS on social media for fear of an attack on the homeland, posting a photo of himself smoking a pipe and  reading a Marine handbook, writing; 'Wonder if any ISIS members want to drop by and join my book club.' Many members of the armed forces and public applauded his actions, and his labeling of members of the group as 'cowards.' And now, Meyer is set to become a member of the Palin family after popping the question to girlfriend Bristol exactly one week ago at a Rascal Flatts concert in Las Vegas. Meyer and Palin have been dating for a year after meeting on the set of the Sarah Palin reality show Sarah Palin's Amazing America.
