Charlie A. Martin was brought into this world by his beloved mother Ruth Lehman who taught love, compassion and strength that he would continue showing the world his entire life. At no time was this strength demonstrated more than his service with the U.S. Marine Corps during the November 1950 Korean War Battle of Chosin Reservoir. He considered his service with the Marines to one of the greatest honors of his life. In spite of experiencing unthinkable wartime experiences rarely mentioned, his heart as warm as the summer sun. A man with high expectations demonstrated by encouragement, unconditional love and a "yes you can" attitude. His children recall fond memories of joy and happiness as he played guitar and sang songs together. Not only did he defend his country but also children's neighborhood squirrels in a community with friends he cherished so much he chose to never leave.
