I received this information just a few minutes ago and thought it was important enough to share with my readers, especially those of you in Savannah who could make it out to show your respects to this brave young man.

This is an especially sad day, one of our very brave brothers, Capt. Matt Freeman of the United States Marine Corp has died in Afghanistan. His remains will arrive at the National Guard Field in Sav on Wed at 3PM. He will exit the National Guard at 4PM turn right onto Dean Forest Rd and be driven to Route 17 where they will continue on Rt 17 until they take a right on Rte 144 and proceed to the Richmond Hill funeral home.

Capt Freeman will remain there until his services on Saturday. We want to encourage everyone to be along the transport route to honor our brother who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedom. Please be there. God Bless!

I did some research and found the following information about Capt. Freeman:

Marine Capt. Matthew C. Freeman: 29, of Richmond Hill, Ga.; assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Okinawa, Japan; died Aug. 7 while supporting combat operations in Kapisa province, Afghanistan.
