Meyer-Palin engagement
Yes, I saw this yesterday early in the morning, but y’all decided to fill up my inbox with links. But, apparently, Medal of Honor recipient and former Marine sergeant Dakota Meyer gathered up the courage to ask Bristol Palin to marry him the other night. From UPI;
“Last night, Sgt Dakota Meyer proposed and I said yes!” the younger Palin wrote.
“Dakota came to Alaska to film Amazing America with my mom last year. He met Tripp during that time, and I’ve seen him in a few places where our paths have crossed since. He’s visited us in Alaska, and I’ve visited his wonderful family in Kentucky,” she wrote. “He’s wonderful with Tripp and I’m so proud to be marrying him.”
She went on to say Meyer proposed to her at a Rascal Flatts concert and even enlisted the help of the country band’s lead singer, Gary LeVox, for the event.
LeVox dedicated “Bless the Broken Road” to them and Meyer got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.
“It’s amazing to see what happens when you place everything in life in God’s hands. He really is good and His plans are so much greater than our own,” she said.
I wish the couple all of the happiness in the world.
Category: Who knows
I join with you all in wishing Sgt Meyer and Ms. Palin an eternity of happiness and delight together. Both of them gain intelligence, talent, and attractiveness with each other, and Sgt Meyer gains a good son, even though Tripp is of another father. I’m going to be politically incorrect and say, May God bless them both.
^^^THIS^^^
I don’t know. I don’t think I could ever marry a woman with kids from another man.
Awww……I wish the couple all the best.
On another note: Jonn, how alone in the world would you feel if we didn’t fill up your email with useless dribble from time to time? Lol. 🙂
A serious question for Jonn: would you rather us send you stuff so you can pick and choose or hold back. I tend to only send you local news from the hood that might be relevant and not posted elsewhere. I assume you surf the same right-wing-knuckle-dragger-war-monger sites that I do.
You guys are all good, I’d rather get a link a hundred times than miss a story. You guys know what you want to talk about more than I know. For example, 1SG Moerk was our biggest story last year and the link was sent by someone.
and, that’s why we love you John.
What a beautiful couple they are.
I am certain that Dakota will step up and become the father figure that Tripp needs in his life.
I apologize in advance for all the butthurt that I will cause with the posting of this next sentence/paragraph…
God Bless the whole family.
Bristol went from a punk that was dishonorable, to a man with the Medal of Honor….GOOD FOR HER.. blessings to all three of them!
Well, if you want to see what a woman is going to look like in 20 years or so, check out her mom.
I suspect that SGT Meyer did just that!
Yeah, I’d say he’s good to go!
They are a gorgeous couple. I wish them all the best for a long, healthy, and happy life together. Blessings on their family. <3
The Kennedys can suck it. America now has a new and far more worthy “royal” family!
I am a lifelong fan of country music (other genres too, but I was raised on country), but I always considered Rascal Flats to be highly overrated, not much more than a boy band with guitars. And I’m over the “Broken Road” song because, the nice meaning aside, it’s overplayed to the point of cliche at every wedding, anniversary, and blind date for the last 15 years. I made a point of not having that song at my wedding (substituting the excellent “Rose Tattoo” by Dropkick Murphys instead) for just that reason.
That said, he’s Dakota fuckin’ Meyer! He can use Rascal Flats if he damn well pleases! I pray that one day I might be 1/10 the man that lad is. They make a nice-looking couple, too. Plus, Sergeant Meyer’s willingness to take on raising a kid not his own speaks volumes about his quality–not that it was ever in doubt.
I wish the two of them all the happiness in the world. If anybody’s earned it in this day and age, he has.
Yo, The Other Whitey, where you been man? Kennedy’s? They were superseded by the Clinton Dynasty and now the Obama royal family. But absolutely, all can go piss into the wind and I join all in wishing them well.
The Kennedys are a continual embarassment to this Irish American.
Big change from the days when every Irish household had a picture of the Pope and JFK on the wall.
That popping sound you hear is liberal heads exploding across America.
May God bless Meyer and Palin and their coming nuptials.
I lean liberal – and I wish them both of them the best of luck. Can’t see why my disagreements with the girl’s mother on political points would make me want to wish the happy couple anything other than the absolute best in their personal life.
Here’s to a happy, healthy future for their new family.
LC, that’s because you’re not a shallow, immature douche like so many of the loudest liberals (and more conservatives than we care to admit). Liberal or not, you’re cool.
In other words, you’re the anti-Commissar.
The commies moved in and deliberately took over the name “Liberal” and shat all over the territory before they moved on to “progressive.”
Which is why, in America, the Conservatives and the Libertarians have taken over the territory the whole rest of the world calls “Liberal.”
It’s a little weird to explain things to people overseas, because they continue to think of Conservative as supporting traditional society, such as authoritarian dictatorships, harsh patriarchy, racial and ethnic strife, and the suppression of individual liberty. In America, Conservatives are for liberty and justice for all, and resistance to collectivization of our economy.
The whole rest of the world still thinks we are crazy, and that is a good thing.
MOH + SBP = set for life!
Woman is not dumb.
(advance warning – possible spew alert)
I’m going out on a LIMB here, and commending Sgt Meyer for BRANCHING out of Kentucky to find his wonderful and worthy bride from Alaska, so that his family tree will stop looking like a straight stick.
(grins, ducks, covers head, runs)
Seriously, I wish the new couple all the best in the world. Good times and bad, may they find the humility and strength in G-d that they need to endure.
I wish them all the best and a little dark part of my heart wishes that at sometime in the future Sgt. Meyers gets locked for them minutes in a room with Bristol’s former boyfriend.
You know, so they can talk.
Ten minutes, not them minutes.
We apologize for the typing error and hope that you all have a blessed day, non-blessed day or whatever kind of day you want
Best of luck to the couple. I feel bad for Dakota though, for now he will have to endure the TMZ bullshit stalking.
I get the feeling that the TMZ folks could learn some painful lessons about stalking a grunt.
You really think he can’t handle a few of the lowest of wannabe-paparazzi? I’d pay money for his Go-Pro footage of that encounter!
There may be a bachelor party for the history books.
Now, I don’t care who you are, that’s funny!
Considering he’s friends with the Ranger Up guys, and considering they have a story about a batchelor party, super hero costumes and getting arrested I think ‘epic’ is the word you are looking for.
it just occurred to me upon reading this great news that young Tripp is so fortunate to have a father who is a genuine American hero but also a lovely mother who is down to earth enough to pick a soldier to marry. Due to her famous mother’s success and celebrity, Bristol no doubt has met numerous young scions of upper-crust Republican families as well as flashy entertainer types, yet she picks a soldier, granted, a most celebrated soldier but a soldier nonetheless. Looks like she has her mother’s down to earth common sense.
Young Tripp is fortunate to have such parents. I wish the three of them all the best.
Forgive me all you Jarheads out there, I should have said Marine. My bad.
My best to these young people and their families.
Bristol Meyer.
Hmmm – will she now get royalty checks from the drug manufacturer?
Now that was funny!!! Thanks for that. 🙂
….. and it would have to be a chemical guy to come up with the drug reference. LOL
I was gonna say “As long as they don’t name the next kid Squibb…”
I wish them both the best of luck.
I met her brother a few times in Iraq. He seemed like a good kid. Whenever Liberals try to say that Republicans don’t send their kids to war I remind them about SPC Palin.
BRAVO ZULU to Sgt Meyer and Miss Palin. Good luck Godspeed and Fair Winds on the seas of life.
Nothing will complete a Man like the love of a woman. I hope she takes his breath away……Mine still does.
Semper Fi Brother
Amen (in a non secular way, smile) my bride still takes my breath away every single day. She has been with me through thick and thin. I hope that everyone gets to have what we do.
Its the things we dont talk about much that I hope they get to experience. I wake most days and just lay there a look at her sleep. How could that woman love a wretch like me. She squeezes the tooth paste from the middle, leaves hair in the shower drain, leaves the dresser drawers slightly open, uses my razor then leaves it in the shower, she hates anything pumpkin, paints everything red, puts the toilet paper on under instead of over, irons cloths on the carpet, loves puzzles, and can not grow a plant of any kind.
But, she can stop me in my tracks with a smile, she can quiet a rage with the touch of her hand and when she says ‘I love you’ I can not breath.
We are ‘blessed’ Amen brother.
Good words, Dave, good words.
I got one word to add. Amen.
You are indeed blessed, my friend.
So is she.
Wonder which of the brainless windbag members of the media will be first to spout something nasty? You just know that Moore, Mahr, or Baldwin are just jumping to say something really stupid about this.
HOLY COW! What great news!!
Jonn said it:
“I wish the couple all of the happiness in the world.”
… And the LORD looked and saw, that it was not good for the man to be alone …
Blessings.
My warmest and most sincere congratulations to Sgt. Meyer and Miss Palin! May their years together be happy ones filled with love, life, and laughter.
GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK
