My father was 82nd, 505 PIR. Same drops as "Pee Wee."
My parents lived in eindhoven at this time. THANK YOU for your service. They came to canada where we were all born :)
Wow. I couldn't imagine that side of life as well. Glad you're family survived that and got out of there. God bless you
My mother was a little girl in The Hague and my Opa was a member of the Dutch underground. God bless.
Thank you for your service Sir. It is because of you and men like you that we are free today.
Rest In Peace Pee Wee . I saw this earlier today and just now read the sad news of his passing at 101 years. Very few of his generation now remain alive .Lest We forget
I don’t underestimate this man and his generation. Please apply this veneration for the current veterans.
Wow... What an amazing personal perspective from an actual "Band of Brothers" soldier... Thank you Jim.
Y’all need to check him out recently. He jumped tandem in a static line with his son
I'd like to submit a name of a paratrooper who jumped in battle of bulge and was shot while descending. It is possible Jim many have known him. I will submit the name if there is a way to transfer it to Jim. Jim may be the last person still alive that could identify the person. Regards
Damn,these true hero's and Americans.
Thank you.
Thank you..
Wow....amazing
Amazing story. I listened thru the whole speech/ story
I wished I'd met this guy.

Where would we be without the GREATEST GENERATION?
With anteeeefaaa and others burning down businesses and buildings, and having many politicians encouraging this behavior, I feel all their sacrifices may have been for not. It may be time for history lessons across this Great Country, which I believe will truly UNITE America! For to long history has been left out of school curriculum, which has led to possibly two generations of young Americans lost. They no longer understand the Bill of rights. The constitution, perhaps the greatest document ever put on paper, is nothing to these people.
I fear Liberty will be gone soon. Godspeed!
With all due respect, on the subject of courage, 85% of all workplace injuries and deaths occur in the construction industry. Contrary to popular belief, if you want a safe job become a fireman or law enforcement officer. 150% of soldiers deployed in combat to Europe/Normandy Invasion were casualties by the end of WWII.
The total number of men deployed in combat to Europe/Normandy would consist of 100% is the total number. How do you figure half again as many men in that group was a casuality?
@@gordongordon4434 Due to casualties after the Normandy Landing, each soldier was replaced 1.5 times by the end of the war.
@@dennissalisbury496 Being this discussion was about Pee Wee Martin's film that spoke of the 506th, it wasn't referring to the entire group of men that participated on the day of the invasion, just the actual men who came in as the 506th. That is what I am drawing my percent from.
Super grateful we have UA-cam to hear these men speak. Amazing stories.
Tough as nails. Tender-hearted toward wife and people. Humble, yet shares his opinions. So many lessons and character traits to glean from this amazing man.
Several years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a WW II Veteran that had been in the 82nd Airborne. He had jumped into North Africa and fought in that campaign. He was still someplace else when they had the D-Day jump so didn't jump there but was later trucked into Normandy. Then he did jump into Holland for the Market Garden Campaign. I didn't ask him any questions about it I just listened to him tell what he wanted to. There was a lot of 82nd Airborne memorabilia around his house that I really enjoyed looking at, These Vets say they are not hero's but their fellow soldiers in arms that never got to come home are the true hero's but when you are in the presence of the Vets that went through that horrible war you can feel and just tell that you are in the presence of someone very special. ..I was very humbled and felt honored that I had got to meet someone of that stature.
William Mawk, I feel the same way. I'm just now beginning to understand how amazing these guys were, and are. One of the 101st who went up into the Eagle's Nest, lived in my neighborhood. He also set the "Eureka Beacon" in Eindhoven, Holland. I said, "Up there on a pile of bricks! You had no protection!" He said, "That's why it had to be done fast, and you couldn't even think about it." I think I remember him saying 21 seconds was the time it took him to set it up.
He was still teaching marksmanship in the 1990's, and had a bullet making machine in his basement. A bale of hay with a target stood against the cinder block wall. Behind it was a metal shield. All the bullets went into a trough behind the bale. Then he'd melt them down and start over. There wasn't one hole in the target that was outside the middle dot!
I have always wanted to meet one of these amazing men. Though they say they weren’t heroes they most certainly were.
sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Benton Maverick instablaster :)
@Cameron Jesus thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It's an honor to hear and read these stories about these heroes and the horrors they had to live through. When I was his age I was a spoiled little punk drinking beer and enjoying my life while these guys were killing ppl and watching their best buddies die in horrible ways. As much as we want to hear about it, can you imagine how difficult it must be for these brave men to re live their stories?
In my opinion this is the last great generation and I am forever grateful and thankful to these men for the lives we live today!
To all WW2 Veterans and all war veterans, thank you for your service and my freedom. Rest in Peace and God bless you all!
the humility from this Man staggers me. makes me wonder about myself. What a Gentleman, the World is lucky to have such people.
I'm so humbled to even breathe the same air as he.
This is some of the most unvarnished information I’ve heard from a WWII veteran. He didn’t hold back and it was fascinating.
Pee Wee is an amazing man. A patriot, a warrior & also a family man of the community.
This is the most humbling video on UA-cam, or anywhere for that matter. God bless each of the allied servicemen from WW2.
The greatest generation never bragged about ww11
Lol god damn when did the other world war ,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 happened. Also this guy is godly humble.
Don’t be a douche
how about those war before ww2?are they joke?
Slow salute to him and his brothers in arms.
what an amazing individual, with such a detailed story
thumbs up it's july of 2019 today hopefully him and his wife are still on their own living life!
Jim Pee Wee Martin celebrated his 100th birthday I believe in May of 2021. He is the oldest living member and Ed Shames was another. They may be the remainder of the 101st.
Strike Hold. God bless.Thank you.
Thank you for your service.
Pee Wee still alive.
Labor Labor yes
Thank you for your service.
Charlie company first battalion five o eighth parachute Infantry regiment. 75-78.
Yes.priceless...story. thankyou for sharing
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way.........
My grandfather was in the 101st, medals for his buddy's
Real Hero - Not like most of the Wankers of today who do not stand up for the Constitution.
My mother once told me that my grandfather was asleep in bed after the war he was an ex commando my grandmother tried to wake him up by shaking his shoulder and she ended up across the bed she then learned to wake him up by tapping the bottom of his feet
Yes I understand completely. After a wound to me I had the same reaction when people tried to wake me up. Now my wife says my name very loud and often to awake me
Amazing man.
Thank you, Mr. Martin. RIP
I think it's time to watch "Band Of Brothers" again.
Thank You Mr. Martin, not only for what you did, but for leaving these stories for us to listen to.
We all should Stand In Awe of these Gentle Giants.
5'7" he may be, but Millions Stand In His Shadow, Looking Up At Such Men As These
What A Generation. I just wish Mr. Martin would be able to give a dressing down to the MAGA Nazi cabal. He could probably kick any of their butts even today.
Its a long time since i saw Band of brothers.. But who played Jim Martin in "Band of brothers??
Thank you for telling of your experiences Mr Martin, Blessings upon you and your family
Well done thanks🤠👍

Veterans are 'experts' on THEIR war experiences. They are not experts on the War, it's causes and the rights & wrongs of it.
Maybe I should read a transcript of this. Just too monotone to keep listening and watching.
