Dr Ken Hartman has received this year’s Freedom Medal Award from Camden County, NJ. In 2009, Dr. Hartman founded “Our Community Salutes,” a nonprofit (501-c-3) organization that recognizes and honors graduating high school seniors who plan to enlist into the military immediately after graduation.

“We’re getting tributes from as far away as outer space,” Hartman said, regarding America Salutes last summer. “The response has been overwhelming.”

MOAA Life Member Ken Hartman has made it his mission to thank every one of these young men and women, and he’s hoping to inspire a million more “thank yous” in the process.
