Jim Martin
Добавлен 1 янв 2013
One of Colonel Robert Sink's original "Toccoa Men", Jim Martin joined the now famous 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division at Camp Toccoa in July, 1942.
He jumped into Normandy on D-Day, into Holland for "Operation Market Garden and was one of the defenders of Bastogne during the "Battle of the Bulge".
At this late date Jim "Pee Wee" Martin is one of the last remaining "Toccoa Originals" (made famous by the HBO mini-series, "Band of Brothers") who is still traveling, meeting the public and carrying forward an eyewitness account of his experiences. He does so as a representative of the veterans of the 101st Airborne Division who are no longer here and in an effort to promote and preserve the legacy and lessons of The Second World War.

I can't imagine the horrors you must have witnessed. I can't imagine the hardships you had to endure. I can't imagine the tiniest bit of it. All I can do is be thankful that the men of your generation were there to preserve your freedoms and hand them down to us. To say "Thank You" is pale and weak, but it's all I can do.
Jim Martin, you are a hero. Thank you for leading the way.

And here's living proof of the truth of the statement "Once a paratrooper, always a paratrooper." You are both inspirations.
Oh I wish I could have been there to watch him do this. What a guy. My heart goes out each and every one of the guys in the 101st. Currahee!
God bless Mr Martin, thank you so much for sacrifices to our country. 5-0-SINK!!!

Mr Martin, you were an inspiration of mine and still are to this day, the things that you have been through is absolutely horrifying but never the less I thank you for your service.

It was hard keeping dry eyes. Though I was never a vet, I had a son who did a stitch with the armed services and I remember what was it was like reading his letters and emails. I am so proud of how our country is showing appreciation for these WWII heroes. I have to thank them for my freedom, cause many of them die for it.
