Merle Eugene Flatt was born May 22, 1927 in Blabon, ND, the son of Marvin and Luvia I. (McKay) Flatt. As a young boy, he moved with his family to Baldwin Township near Pillsbury, ND. He attended Baldwin School. His father died when Merle was young, so he helped his mother on the farm. On April 3, 1951, he entered the US Army.
