Even though its a few days past the D-Day anniversary....

I just ran across this story in the Dispatch.

I met Mr. Freeman as he was leaving the State/Bama game at halftime 4 years ago. I thanked him for his service and reached out to shake his hand. Instead of shaking my hand, he stood at attention and saluted me. I almost lost it at that moment.

He spoke at our Rotary Club a few years ago. It was a great honor to meet him. He isn't in the TV series but he IS in the book.
