Ben Martinez | 890th Clearing Company - Army

4:24   |   During his time in the service, Ben Martinez received at least two Bronze Stars that he remembers. After the war was finally over, he had a hiatus period and then he finally came home. During that time, he was part of the 890th Clearing Company. Finally, he returned to his home in New Orleans on Christmas day of 1945.
