Frogskin7 Posted March 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2018 I would like to present these two amazing utility jackets belonging to Bruce F. Meyers. Meyers was a 28 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps and rose to the rank of Colonel. He was born in 1925 and unfortunately passed away on August 7th, 2017. Here is an interview he did in 2005, talking about his Military career during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam: http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/story/loc.natlib.afc2001001.10229/transcript?ID=mv0002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
