Merton B. Myers

Merton B. Myers (1912–1943) was a United States Navy sailor killed in action during World War II who received a posthumous Silver Star for his actions.
==Biography==
Merton Bernell Myers was born at Long Island City in Queens, New York, on January 15, 1912. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on August 23, 1939 at Indianapolis, Indiana.〔The ''Dictionary of Naval Fighting Ships'' provides identical birth dates and locations and identical enlistment dates and locations for both William J. Pattison (at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/w8/william_j_pattison.htm) and Merton B. Myers (at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/m16/myers.htm), both of whom died at the same time in the ''Karin'' boarding attempt. This almost impossible coincidence in both date and place of birth, of enlistment, and of death in action suggests that the ''Dictionary of Naval Fighting Ships'' is in error concerning some or all of this information for one or both men. Other sources merely repeat the ''Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships'' entries and are of no assistance in clearing up the matter.〕
As a machinist's mate first class, Myers was serving in the destroyer in the South Atlantic Ocean when on March 10, 1943 ''Eberle'' intercepted the German blockade runner ''Karin''. Myers volunteered for the boarding party which valiantly tried to save ''Karin'' from demolition charges set by her crew. All efforts were to no avail; after helping his shipmates to escape the sinking death trap, Myers was killed in a violent explosion.
