James H. "Pee Wee" Martin - World War II
101st Airborne Division
506th Parachute Infantry Regiment
"G" Company

Jim Martin jumped into France over Utah Beach the night prior to D-Day and fought for thirty-three days in the Normandy campaign. In September, 1944 he participated in the campaign in Holland ("Operation Market Garden") and was one of the defenders of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. The 101st Airborne Division finished their part of the war by securing Berchtesgaden, Germany.

Jim Martin and 84 other WWII veterans visited Washington D.C. on May 7, 2011. They were flown to visit their memorial and other sites in Washington by Honor Flight Columbus. The efforts of the volunteers and contributors to Honor Flight Columbus were deeply appreciated by all of the veterans.
