Please share a memory of Martin to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Born December 21, 1946 in Brooklyn, New York. Martin served 26 years in the United States Army and 4 years in the United States Marine Corps before retiring from the Army as a 1st Sergeant. While in the service, Martin completed 4 combat tours in Vietnam earning 2 purple hearts and 2 Bronze Stars for Valor in Combat in addition to numerous medals for extensive service and bravery during combat. Martin was a soldier in the truest sense of the word, and lived his life for God, Country, and Family. Most recently he was an active lay person and senior warden at All Saints Reformed Episcopal Church. He will be remembered for his colorful personality, immaculate garden he kept at home, and his love for all animals, especially his two cats Smoky and Mai Tai.
