WASHINGTON ( CNN ) -- Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and defense contractor BAE announced Thursday an `` amicable '' end to their dispute . Meyer filed a lawsuit in Texas in June claiming BAE , his former employer , had punished him for objecting to a weapons sale to Pakistan , and had prevented him from finding other work by portraying him as unstable and a problem drinker . The lawsuit against the company and his former supervisor has been dropped . `` BAE Systems OASYS and I have settled our differences amicably , '' Meyer said in a joint statement issued by the company , referring to the company by its full name . Meyer praised the defense firm 's support for veterans and generosity to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation . There were no details of any possible monetary settlement . `` During my time there I became concerned about the possible sale of advanced thermal scopes to Pakistan . I expressed my concerns directly and respectfully , '' Meyer said . `` I am gratified to learn that BAE Systems OASYS did not ultimately sell and does not intend to sell advanced thermal scopes to Pakistan . '' The company faced the difficult task of a potentially drawn-out legal battle against an American hero . `` We are pleased that we reached closure in this matter , '' the company said in its part of the joint statement . `` BAE Systems has the highest respect for Sgt . Dakota Meyer , who exemplifies the qualities that make the men and women of our armed services the best in the world , '' the company said . `` We owe him and the many thousands of others who have served and sacrificed for our country our deepest thanks . '' According to the lawsuit , Meyer had objected to the sale of high-tech equipment to Pakistan , which he characterized as `` giving to guys who are known to stab us in the back '' and `` the same people who are killing our guys . '' Meyer was working on thermal optic equipment for snipers and detection of roadside bombs . In his lawsuit he claimed that on-the-job bullying and intimidation began after his criticism of potential sales to Pakistan . President Barack Obama presented the Medal of Honor to Meyer , a former Marine Corps sergeant , in September . He was 21 and a corporal at the time of his heroic acts in Afghanistan in 2009 . `` The story of what Dakota did next will be told for generations , '' Obama said , describing how Meyer returned again and again to the killing ground of a Taliban ambush , rescuing American and Afghan troops and retrieving the bodies of fallen comrades . `` You did your duty , above and beyond , and you kept the faith with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps that you love , '' the president said .
Former Marine Sgt . Marine Sgt was awarded the Medal of Honor to Meyer in 2009 . He had sued a defense contractor that is also his former employer . He said the company had punished him for objecting to a weapons sale to WASHINGTON . Dakota Meyer and the company say the dispute has been resolved amicably .
