Brian Freeman’s Last Mission

I was looking through Brian Freeman’s Eulogy the other day, and noticed a post by Bill Torrey. In the post Bill quotes a newspaper article written about Brian, and in the article a little Iraqi boy named Ali is mentioned. Ali was born with a hole in his heart; something he needed repaired to survive to adulthood. Brian took it upon himself to right this wrong — something that isn’t the least bit surprising to those who knew him. Read about it here.

Well Done, Dave.

Well Done, Dave.

Our classmate Dave Boris was killed in action in Afghanistan this week. Dave was the Commander of A/1-91 CAV and had been in country several months. He is survived by his wife, Jaime.

Thanks to Nate Deforest and Jay Weatherwax for bringing this sad news to my attention.

Well Done, Corry.

Well Done, Corry.

I’m sad to report the death of another of our classmates. Corry Tyler was killed in the Blackhawk that crashed earlier this week claiming 14 soldiers’ lives. He is survived by his wife, Kathy, and their three children.

Thanks to Dena Soto (Ridenour) for bringing this trajic event to my attention.

Well Done, Brian.

Well Done, Brian.

Unfortunately, it seems that the only news I’ve brought to you as of late is bad news. Our classmate, Brian Freeman, was killed on Saturday, 20 January 2007 in Karbala. He is survived by his wife, Charlotte, and his two children Gunnar and Ingrid.
