WHO IS JOE MEADORS?
Joe Meadors was a signalman on the bridge of the USS Liberty during the attack. He and Francis Brown hauled up a second American Flag after the steaming colors were shot down early in the air attack. That flag will soon be on public display at the Cold War Museum and can be seen at www.ussliberty.org/g/battleflag.gif. Mr. Meadors was on the bridge throughout the attack and was one of several eyewitnesses to the machinegunning of the liferafts. Mr. Meadors has been associated with the USS Liberty Veterans Association since it was first founded in 1982. He served as President of the Association for four years and later served four years as Chairman followed by several years as an active director.
