BIOGRAPHY

Jim "Pee Wee" Martin parachuted for the 101st, the 506th Infantry Regiment. He enlisted in the Navy to be on submarines but it was months before he could be involved, so he became part of a new elite group, the Para Troopers. Jim was part of D-Day, Operation Market Gardner, Bastogne, and Battle of the Bulge. Courtesy of the American Veteran Association.
