Rest in Peace Capt.

As an American (I'm not) I would be proud and ashamed at the same time.
Proud that there was – and will be, in my heart - an example of an human being
for whom the word “serving” isn't about money, nor power, nor influence, nor lobbyism -
but to risk how many times, the most valuable item a human being can give only once – his live.
Ashamed I didn't know this man at all....

As a German (I am) we don't know what it is or what it mean to be proud of a man like Captain Ed Freeman.
Because of our history – I can't be proud, only ashamed.
Even though I do know we have one or two heros today, unknown to me like the Capt. but very much
worthwhile to look out for them and to try to act like one.

God speed Capt.

S!
