93-Year-Old WWII Veteran Parachutes Into Normandy To Commemorate 70th Anniversary Of D-Day

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day, World War II veteran Jim “Pee Wee” Martin of the 101st Airborne parachuted into Normandy the same way he did 70 years ago. Martin said he made the jump because he may be the last man from his unit to ever do it again. When asked how the jump compared to the one he made 70 years ago, Martin said, “It didn’t (compare), because there wasn’t anybody shooting at me today.”
