[1] Major General Mike Myatt was born in 1940 at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital, San Francisco, California.

Myatt went to college at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, while his family lived in Jackson, Mississippi.

After being commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant, Myatt attended The Basic School (TBS) in Quantico, Virginia, for six months training as a new Marine officer in leadership, esprit-de-corps, and warfighting tactics expected of a rifle platoon commander.

He led his men in and around Chu Lai until December 1966 when his battalion was moved south of Hue City in January 1966 during the time President Lyndon Johnson was increasing involvement in Vietnam.

[2] In addition to Lieutenant Myatt's service in Vietnam, he was awarded the Silver Star in his combat operations against Viet Cong insurgents.

During Operation Oregon on March 20, 1966, Lieutenant Myatt successfully maneuvered his platoon through the rice paddies, where he coordinated an offensive with his squads to advance on the enemy's position.

Lieutenant Myatt withdrew his platoon and coordinated a fire mission with an artillery battery, which destroyed the enemy's position.

Myatt was the commander of the Technical Liaison Team responsible for utilizing ground sensors, both systematic and acoustic in Vietnam.

Prior to General Myatt's retirement from the Marine Corps, he was assigned to the Combined Forces Command in Seoul, Korea.

From January 1998 to December 1999, he led Bechtel's major construction project of the Korean high-speed rail system from Seoul to Busan.

After Myatt left Bechtel Corporation, he was nominated to become the president and CEO of the Marines' Memorial Club in San Francisco, California.
