On July 12, 1919, James C. Plummer was born on a farm in May, TX. On November 25, 1940, he mobilized with the Texas National Guard 36th Division and was in the U.S. Army. He trained in Camp Blanding, Florida, and Camp Edwards, Massachusetts, before being sent to North Africa to wait for the invasion of Europe. On September 9, 1943, as a member of the 142nd Infantry, Company A, Jay was a participant in the invasion of Salerno, Italy. That campaign went from Salerno to Naples and then to Rome, Italy.

Wounded on December 9, 1944, Jay was demobilized on December 15, 1944. He was one of the lucky ones who got to return home to Texas.

A voracious reader, he enjoyed reading his whole life. After high school graduation, he continued his education by reading anything and everything he could get his hands on. He even put his National Geographic in chronological order so that he could read them in order.
