May the Lord comfort and console his family.
That's what I saw, too. The secret is, though, that Capt. Freeman knew he was completely safe: ground fire would have been completely blocked by his humungous set of brass balls.
Condolences Ronnie. I was with Co H 75th Rangers attached to the first Cav.
I played Lay me Down and Garyowen as a memorial to the good Major.

Kinda cool how the families of fallen soldiers who are honored on here, find their way here to express their thanks to us.
Thank YOU for being part of his family.
I can only hope to maybe become part of the brotherhood that is the United States Military.
Thank you.
God Bless Him and His. He is off to Fiddlers Green.
we are winning when we are able to honor this fine American on a internet connection supported by donations from equally reverent, able Americans. God, God’s plan and heros from and among us cannot be stopped.
Rest in honored peace Too Tall

GARRY OWEN to you, Sir, and to all your Loved ones.

Thank you, wastedyears, for your open heart and for your selfless willingness to serve others.
For that’s where the Happiness in life truly lies.
If only we Vietnam Vets had had the Internet as our tool of CLARITY upon our return home from our fight for the Freedom of others long ago...
...a then Free South Vietnam would still be Free today.

To say Freeman was a hero proved in liberating strife would be an understatement.
God bless him and you Ronnie. I won’t ever forget LZ X-Ray.

Men such as this make our country better, and make me realize I owe much more to those men than I could ever begin to repay.
My respects, from a native Nampan.
