  • Summary

  • Born in North Texas, Freeman was too young to participate in WWII with his 5 older brothers.  However, he always wanted to fight as a Marine and planned on joining up when the time came.  That time was in June 1950 at the outbreak of the Korean War.  After basic and combat training, Freeman made a trip across the Pacific with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines.  He fought with his fellow infantrymen on the front lines until his life almost came to an end when a grenade detonated in front of him.  Freeman finished out the rest of his tour driving officers around and dodging mortar rounds.  After the war, he married his sweetheart, had 4 kids and worked for Shell Oil for 30 years.
