Mel Myers
Melvin (Mel) Myers (June 21, 1922 – May 23, 2008) Born in Salem, Indiana – served in the U.S. Army Air Forces from 1942 to 1946, attaining the rank of Technician 5th Grade (T/5) with the Twentieth Air Force on Guam. After the war, he returned to southern Indiana, to his wife, Francis (Cauble) Myers, and worked for a few years in sales before answering a call to the ministry and becoming a beloved pastor. Mel was preceded in death by Francis (January 7, 1924 – September 6, 2017). Mel, survived by his daughter, Jo, and husband, Dennis; grandsons, Jason and Jeremy; great-grandson, Harrison; and a host of extended family and former parishioners who still smile when they remember his stories—especially the ones from Guam and Tokyo.
Rank at separation: at least Staff Sergeant (family knowledge)
Lt. Bob Campbell
Robert (Bob) Campbell – Mel lost contact with Bob in 1947 shortly after he left the service. I’ve done some research on trying to find info on Bob but so far have not found anything concrete. Many records were destroyed by a fire from that time in history. I will continue to research and will update the site if any info is found.
