Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Marine Veteran James Martin.  James joined the Marines in 2000, served in Iraq and Afghanistan and in 2015 qualified for medical retirement after being injured and paralyzed from the waist down.  This father to 8 worked with the Wounded Warrior Project during the pandemic to help other Veterans stay in touch during a time when so many of us were apart. It’s these efforts that landed James the role as one of the honorary captains who will take the field on Sunday in Tampa to take art in the coin flip. On being chosen, James says, “I’m absolutely astonished, humbled and surprised”.   Congratulations on your well deserved honor and THANK YOU for your service.
