It is not the Congressional Metal of Honor.  It is the Medal of Honor.

When President Obama recently called to tell Meyer he would be awarded the Medal of Honor, the military’s highest honor, Meyer didn’t take the call. Meyer, now 23, was working a new job in construction and asked the president to call him back another time.

I saw SGT. Meyer on David Letterman the other night.  What a fine young man he is, very humble about his actions.  God bless Dakota Meyer.
