    Sgt. Dakota Meyer, the first living Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions since Vietnam, signs a construction worker's hard hat while touring the National September 11 Memorial & Museum after speaking at a ceremony, here, Sept. 21. The two black bracelets he wears are inscribed with the names of the three Marines and sailor who died in the Sept. 9, 2009 battle referenced in Meyer's Medal of Honor citation. During his speech he told the audience of mostly veterans, firefighters, police and construction workers, "People have been calling me a hero a lot lately, but you are the real heroes. If this is what being a hero feels like, you can have it." For more information, visit www.dakotameyer.com
