101st Vet Aged 98 To Jump Again in Operation Market Garden If anyone can prove those adages to be true, it’s Jim ‘Pee Wee’ Martin, an American World War II 101st veteran who’s doing something many men half his age are too terrified to tackle.
They say you’re only as old as you feel, that age is just a number, and that growing older is best combated by thinking and acting young.
Martin is going to repeat a jump he first did in 1944 as part of an Allied mission Operation Market Garden to free parts of the Netherlands from the Nazis’ grip. Apparently, he doesn’t consider his age a deterrent in any way.
