Four memories of Brian Scott Freeman

“

Brian was one of the funniest, warm-hearted and caring men I have ever had the privilege of being able to call my friend! Brian served with my husband at Ft. Carson and were young 2LT Platoon Leaders together. There was never a dull moment with those guys. The AOB classes at the end of 1999 had a lot of life, dedication, determination, pride, and were steadfast in their love for their country.

Brian knew I loved it when it snowed and he would take pictures when it did for me! It was a small gesture and I know he didn't think a thing about it...He just knew I loved it, saw an opportunity to take some really cool pictures for me and did! I still have those pictures to this day. He had the BIGGEST heart and so much love for everyone. My heart breaks that we have lost him...However, the dedication and love from his wife and two beautiful children will stay as our continuous reminder!

We love and miss you, Brian!!!
