A World War II veteran who parachuted into France with Allied troops on D-Day and was believed to be the last remaining member of the “Toccoa Originals” immortalized in the HBO mini-series “Band of Brothers” died on Sept. 11.

Jim “Pee Wee” Martin was 101, a fitting number as he joined the 101st Airborne Division in 1942 when the division was formed.
