Tim Hartman has very few memories of his war hero father, but the ones he has are precious. Tim was only four years old when his father, Army pilot Major Benjamin C. “Pat” Hartman Jr. died in Vietnam on Sept. 19, 1968.

Nearly 43 years later, on June 17, Tim Hartman gathered with family members, public officials and local residents to remember his father and dedicate a bridge in his honor on Vietnam Veterans Boulevard at the Center Point Road exit in Hendersonville.
