PFC Martin Leonard Firestone

PFC Martin Leonard Firestone was born 12 Oct 1921 in Manhattan, New York to Joseph and Mildred (Black) Firestone.  Martin's parents divorced when he was young and he apparently lived with his father and moved to Los Angeles, California.

After he was drafted he was sent overseas and assigned to L Company 116th Infantry.  He was apparently with the unit on D-Day.  On 24 Aug 1944 he suffered a non-combat related injury and was sent to the hospital and then returned to the unit from the hospital on 28 Aug 1944.  On 6 Sep 1944 he was killed in action.

PFC Firestone is buried in the Brittany American Cemetery.
