"Last night, Sgt Dakota Meyer proposed and I said yes!" Palin,
24, said on her blog.
Meyer, 26, was awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest U.S.
award for bravery, in 2011 for saving 36 of his comrades' lives
during an ambush in Afghanistan in 2009.
Bristol Palin said she met Meyer in 2014 when he came to Alaska
to film the reality TV show "Amazing America" with her mother,
the former governor of Alaska and election running mate of
Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
Meyer said on Facebook, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my
life with her and Tripp," Bristol Palin's son fathered by a high
school boyfriend.
On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin said, "Our families couldn’t
be happier for Bristol and Dakota! We’re honored to welcome
Dakota into our family."
