Sending love and support to the family of Pvt. Benjamin Freeman. I read his name in the AJC today. I'm reading over all the names of these young men who lost their lives. They are not forgotten. My son served 4 years in the Marines.

I remember freeman being an absolute goofball in basic training, he had a goofy walk that made him a pain to try and stay in step with. He always made third platoon laugh though, someone I will never forget.

My name is Russell Manz. I am part of the Bell JROTC in Florida. We were asked to research a fallen hero and i was more than happy to do mine on this wonderful man that i didnt even know. The reason this has has touched my heart in the way it has is because i want to join the ARMY as soon as i get out of high school. This man has given his life to protect mine and i am more than pround to be able to represent him when i were my uniform. To know that maybe one day my name may be posted here and some one would be researching me as i can no longer wear my uniform in the same way that Benjamin L. Freeman can no longer wear his.

My name is Shari Culpepper. I did not know Benjamin, but I have the honor to represent him in the Dacula Memorial Day - Ga Fallen Heroes Parade on May 31, 2010. I always wanted to be in a parade, but I never thought that it would come at such a price. It is such a privilege to represent a true patriot. I hope I serve him well just as he served all freedom loving people. May God bless Benjamin, all his loved ones, all of our Fallen Heroes and their families, and all of our military men and women.

”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,850 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
This is a gift! We have some wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and only want you know that we care.
Contact us directly at [email protected] or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Kenna

In Memory of Benjamin ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Benjamin, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Pvt Freeman. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Pvt Freeman knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience, and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Pvt Freeman!
