Bill > J00018

This resolution commends Stanley Maltzman, a World War II veteran, who is being honored with the Liberty Medal, the highest individual honor bestowed by the New York State Senate. Maltzman, born on July 4, 1921, in the Bronx, served in the United States Coast Guard during World War II, participating in six military invasions in the Pacific Ocean, and was discharged as a Signalman, First Class in 1946. He received multiple military awards including the Navy Combat Ribbon and World War II Victory Medal. Beyond his military service, Maltzman had a career in commercial art, remained active in his community through organizations like the Boy Scouts and Greene County Council on the Arts, and even organized an art group called the Tuesday Night Sketchers. The resolution highlights his ongoing connections with fellow veterans, his family life (including his wife Rachel and their children and grandchildren), and his continued passion for art. The New York State Senate is recognizing Maltzman at the Annual Greene County Honor-a-Vet Veteran-of-the-Year Ceremony, celebrating his patriotism, service, and contributions to his community, and will transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to him.
