Clifton Park’s Barry Hartman named Veteran of the Year
The retired brigadier general received the honor Saturday at the New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs. Hartman grew up in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, enlisted in 1958, and trained as a Czech interpreter at the Army language school in Monterey, California. A commander later urged him to try for West Point, and he graduated in 1964 and was commissioned as an armor officer.
