George Teo Martin was born on April 27, 1957. He graduated from East High School and earned a bachelor's degree in Microbiology from Ohio State University in 1980, followed by a medical degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1989. He served as a military physician for 25 years and was assigned as a flight surgeon and Deputy Commander of the 36th Medical Group at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

On July 21, 2008, the ''Louisiana Fire,'' operating under the callsign RAIDR 21, crashed into the Pacific Ocean approximately 30 nautical miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Apra Harbor, Guam, shortly after departing Andersen Air Force Base. Assigned to the 20th Bomb Squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, the aircraft and its crew were temporarily deployed to Guam as part of a four-month rotation. The bomber was scheduled to participate in a flyover for the Liberation Day parade in Hagåtña, commemorating Guam's liberation from Japanese occupation in 1944. The aircraft crashed at approximately 9:55 a.m., just minutes before the planned flyover, resulting in the deaths of all six crew members and the loss of the aircraft.

Col Martin was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery during the group burial and memorial service held for the six crew members of RAIDR 21.
