THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant David Franklin Freeman, Served with C Troop, 3rd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

I visited the Memorial Wall today. I don't always appreciate how many other families lost that war. It has been 48 years and I still look twice when I see a young man on a motorcycle or hear the Beatles on the radio. I still wish my daughters had known you and now, my grandchildren. I hold you in my heart always. Peace and love, from your sister, Herbie

Dear Sgt David Freeman,
Thank you for your service as an Armor Crewman. You are on the same panel as Mike, say hi to him in heaven. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear SGT David Franklin Freeman, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

David is buried at New Calvary cemetery, Farmington, St Francois County, MO.
