John Tortes "Chief" Meyers
I just ordered the biography of Meyers written by W. Young and though it has mixed reviews I'm excited to read it. Meyers joined the USMC during WWI but I haven't found any info on what he did or where he served. If anyone has information on his service I would love to know more.
I believe it's important to share the stories of those who stood tall against bigotry, ignorance and racism with my son. Meyers is a success story and thought maybe a good time to start a thread to bring his accomplishments back to the surface. Please share cards, images, or tidbits of his personal life. I'll start it off with a Semper Fi for one of The Few!

He has an interesting background story, particularly surrounding his college enrollment.
