A Jamestown resident has been inducted into the New York State Senate Veterans' Hall of Fame. Peter Carlo was inducted Tuesday following his nomination by State Senator Cathy Young. Carlo is a Korean War veteran and dedicated advocate for veterans. He was an Army machine gunner with Company C, First Battalion, Ninth Infantry Regiment, Second Infantry Division. He served in Korea from 1952 to 1954 and left the Army as a corporal. Carlo returned to Jamestown to work in the family business and has been actively involved in many veteran and community organizations. Since 2005, the honor is bestowed upon one veteran in each New York State Senate district who has not only served valiantly in the military, but has also performed outstanding service on behalf of their community as a civilian. Young will honor Carlo at a special ceremony in Jamestown at a later date.
