Melvin Spears was born on 12 July 1929 at Bolivar, Polk County, Missouri.¹

His grave marker indicates he served in the US Navy (with a grade, rank, or occupational specialty "SN," probably meaning "seaman") during World War II. He must have enlisted at a very young age to have been a World War II veteran, given that he was born is 1929. It could be that eligbility for World War II veterans benefits did not expire until the end of 1946 (when the war may have been "administratively" ended by presidential executive order). Thus it is possible that he could have entered the navy in late 1946 and still be considered a World War veteran (but this is speculation).²
