Seventy years ago, Jim “Pee Wee” Martin
parachuted into France, behind German enemy lines, in the dark of night ahead
of the D-Day invasion.
Today at the age of 93, the World War ll veteran jumped into
Normandy again, in a full military kit, to mark the anniversary of the June 6th
landings by Allied troops.
Before
jumping he said, “They are worried about me getting hurt. I said, ‘Don’t worry
about it. If I get hurt or I get killed, what is the difference? I’ve lived 93
years. I’ve had a good life.’
