Eli Thompson Fryer (August 22, 1878 – June 6, 1963) was a United States Marine Corps brigadier general who was a recipient of the Medal of Honor for valor in action on July 21–22 April 1914 at Vera Cruz, Mexico. A former member of West Point's class of 1901, he joined the United States Marine Corps in 1900.

Early life and occupation of Vera Cruz

Grave at Arlington National Cemetery

Fryer was born in Hightstown, New Jersey, on August 22, 1878. He entered West Point in 1897 as a member of the class of 1901, but was honorably discharged on June 19, 1899. He was appointed second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps on March 21, 1900.

After initial training at the Marine barracks, in New York City, he served in Newport, Rhode Island (August 1901 – June 1903). During that time he served a brief period of duty with the Marine battalion in Panama (September 13 – December 8, 1902). In 1903 to 1905, he served with the Marine expeditionary battalion aboard the USS Panther and at Camp Roosevelt, Culebra, Puerto Rico, and commanded Marines at Dry Tortugas, Florida.

Following a one-year tour of duty back at the Marine barracks in New York, served two years in the Philippines (1906–1908). For next five years, he served as post quartermaster for Marine Barracks, School of Application, Annapolis, Maryland, and commanding Marine detachments aboard the USS Louisiana (BB-19), USS New Hampshire (BB-25) and USS Alabama (BB-8). Fryer was assigned to Pensacola, Florida, where he deployed to Vera Cruz.

Fryer was retired from the Marine Corps in July 1934, and promoted to brigadier general on the retired list in February 1942. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia.[1]
