As Stephanie Palmateer turns 20 years old Tuesday, her thoughts will not be of the milestone of her young life, but of the sudden loss of her father Spc. Mark C. Palmateer, killed in an attack in Afghanistan.
“It’s going to be hard,” said Stephanie Palmateer, of North Creek, Warren County. “I’m going to try to think of all the good memories I have of him.”
The Hughsonville native was killed in Afghanistan Thursday. The 38-year-old was the first Dutchess County man to be killed in action in that country.
