Dubuque Airport Terminal Named For Capt. Robert L. Martin

On Tuesday, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the renaming of the Dubuque Regional Airport main terminal in honor of Capt. Robert L. Martin, a Dubuque native who was a World War II hero. Martin was raised in Dubuque, attended Washington Middle School, and graduated from Dubuque Senior High School. As one of the Tuskegee Airmen, Martin was awarded several medals, including the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Purple Heart and, later in life, the Congressional Gold Medal. Martin died in 2018 at the age of 99.
