Brian L Freeman

Caledonia, Mississippi

November 7, 2005

 Killed in Baghdad, Iraq, when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near their dismounted patrol.

I knew Brian Freeman since Junior year at West Point. He was a friendly guy and a hard worker. We were both members of SCUSA (Student Conference for United States Affairs) and also served on the Color Guard together. He was a lot of fun both in work and social settings and always had an ability to make people laugh. Brian was the guy that could make the most out of any situation, regardless of how bad. Brian was called up while on IRR status. I am sure he could have fought being called up, but he decided to do the honorable thing and answer the governments call. I respect him for that.
