Tribute to Army Sgt. Jonathan N. Hartman
Army Sgt. Jonathan N. Hartman, 27, of Orange Park, Florida was killed April 17, 2004 when his convoy was attacked near Diwaniyah, Iraq. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 37th Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Division, Friedburg, Germany. He was a native of Portsmouth, Va. where he attended high school. He had lived in Florida since 1996 and enlisted in the Army in 1999. He served as a crewman on an M-1 tank. His mother remembered him as being excited that he had just been extended 90 days to continue fighting for the freedom of the Iraqi people.
As an American citizen I thank you, Jonathan N. Hartman, for your courage and your sacrifice. I thank your family for all they have given for the cause of freedom. I will remember you, and I will teach my children to remember you. We are forever in your debt.

Hi, I remember that young man and the sacrifices he made for us. We live in the same area that he came from. I also wanted to know where you had camped on the Swannee as we like to camp also. Im always looking for new places. Do youall have a camping club or do you just go with friends. I have been looking at a homeschool camping club that is in Florida. Thanks for any information you can give and I enjoy reading your blog.

Tammy and I knew Jonathan's mother, Judy from the church we used to attend. In fact, we attended the memorial service held here in Jax. It was beautiful, with many great stories about his life and his love for the Army.
Judy always maintained that despite the inherent risks of service, Jonathan loved what he did and was glad to serve. She said that he died for a noble cause. We didn't know Jonathan, but we are so thankful for his willingness to risk it all for his country.
