Melvin spent much of his formative years in Santa Cruz, where his father repaired cash registers and typewriters. While living in Santa Cruz, young Melvin worked in a restaurant at the beach. In 1934 the Orr family returned to Fresno where he completed three years of high school. He remained in the Central Valley until the time of his enlistment. \r\n\r\nOn October 3, 1941, Melvin Orr enlisted in the regular US Army Quartermaster Corps and requested assignment in the Philippine Islands. After completing basic training, Orr was sent to the Philippines and posted to Fort Mills. \r\n\r\nIn December 1941, war was declared and the Japanese began bombing raids on the fort. During a particularly heavy aerial bombardment on January 4, 1942, Private Melvin L. Orr was killed.
