Remembering An American Hero
Dear SP4 George Edward Freeland, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

To Put A Face With A Name
George, to honor your memory and the sacrifice you made for our country I want to make sure your photo will be displayed on your birthday each and every year when the Education Center is completed, so it is with great pride and humility that I post this remembrance with a picture I found on 'I-Kirk Info' website 214 Infantry Scrapbook. You are not forgotten and remain in the hearts of many all these years later. You have been designated to be one of God's special angels, along with the love of my life, who also sacrificed his life during this war. God Bless You, George, for being who you were and for all you did--we live in freedom to this day thanks to heroes like you.

For SP4 George Edward FREELAND, USA...another of Pittsburgh's bravest of heroes who gave his life!!!
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
Specialist Freeland, you were one brave hero who fought and gave your all while putting your life on the line to defend liberty everywhere. You had given all that mortality can give! Your name and fame are the BIRTHRIGHT of EVERY American citizen! You had been there and done that! I believe that Jill Corey, whom Avonmore (her home town) and Pittsburgh (where she got her start)can claim as one of their own, and whom I admire greatly as one of my three top favorite TOP GUN songbirds, along with Julie Andrews, who came from England, and Dusty Springfield, who also came from England, but she passed on some years before, would be proud of your service to America. Well done, Soldier! Be thou at peace.
