OVERLAND, Mo. – Relatives of Melvin Meyer have been holding out hope for decades they could find the answers they had been looking for. They heard stories their loved one was a war hero, but were never able to hold a memorial service.“It was heart-wrenching, because all they wanted to do was find out what happened,” said Nedra Orf, Meyer’s great-niece.Meyer was part of an air mission just days before the D-Day invasion. He was joined by other service members for an air raid over Germany. Their plane was struck by gunfire and cashed. Survivors became prisoners of war. Meyer was declared missing.Family members recently received hopeful news. The U.S. Department of Defense notified them of the possibility Meyer’s remains had been discovered. The crash site was discovered in 2012. Excavation efforts led to some remarkable finds, including Meyer’s crucifix, his rosary, wallet, and other personal items.“It gave us goosebumps,” Orf said.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:39:58 GMT

On a Tuesday night when pitchers thrived at Coors Field, the margin for error was razor-thin.Rockies right-hander Peter Lambert lived that reality in a 3-1 loss to the Reds in front of an announced crowd of 20,611. The game took just 2 hours, 5 minutes. Pitching in relief in the seventh, Lambert gave up a two-out walk to Tyler Stephenson, followed by a two-run, first-pitch homer to center by Nick Senzel to give Cincinnati a 2-1 lead. The Reds tacked on a bonus run in the eighth off of Justin Lawrence, who came into the game having given up no earned runs in 15 of his 18 appearances.
