Steven F Freeman, CPL US Army Americal Division, 14th Aviation Battalion, 161st Aviation Company. Helicopter repairman/gunner. Ultimate sacrifice 29 Nov 1967.
Steve and I were "shop buddies" in the first auto mechanic's class at Spring Branch High School in Houston 1963-4. We became good friends. I was a year ahead of him and already in the USAF when he talked about enlisting. I tried to convince him to join the safer Air Force, but he wanted to be more involved.
I still miss him.
