Bill Martin, a navy sailor, at a filling station in Downtown Sanford towards the End of World War II. Many of the men who were stationed at Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford during the Second World War came from other parts of the United States. Navy sailors, pilots, and other personnel were known to visit the local businesses in Sanford, and as a result stimulated the local economy.
