About the author
Pat Meid is credited in U.S. Marine Corps history publications as a Marine Reserve officer and historian. Official Marine Corps sources list her as LtCol Pat Meid, USMCR, coauthor of U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950–1953, Volume V: Operations in West Korea (1972), a detailed account of the 1st Marine Division and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing during the closing stretch of the Korean War.
Her earlier work focused on the history of women in the Corps. Marine Corps bibliographies identify her as the author of Marine Corps Women's Reserve in World War II (1964, revised 1968), and later Marine history publications note that she also helped develop research material for Women Marines in World War I.
From the record available online, Meid's writing stands out for its documentary approach: careful research, official detail, and a strong sense of the people behind military service. Some biographical details about her life beyond these publications are not easy to confirm from reliable public sources, so this overview stays close to the work that can be verified.
