Thomas-Ray-Martin.com is a blog originally written by a 75-year-old 1st Marine Div. Korean War Vet who was dying from end-term COPD with only 18% of his lungs left.  Sadly, Tom passed away on April 13, 2009.

Tom’s friends and family will continue to update his blog with photos and stories to honor the man who served his country and loved his family so well.

Following is the original About page written by Tom:

My how time flies.  Here I am enjoying some reading with my grand-daughter Alex.
