While I never knew you personally, your loss will never be forgotten. Thanks for all you did to help keep Huntsville safe even when you had to face the worst fear imaginable. In my eyes, if there ever was a hero, it would be a person that gives their life for another. God speed to ya, we know you are watching from above.

Hello, my name is David James Young and my father was officer David R. Young that was killed in the line of duty May 3rd, 2007.
This goes out to officer Freeman's family. I am very sorry about your loss. There will be many suffering from the fall of one of Alabama's finest. None will compare to the suffering that will take place of the close family members though. I did not know him but my heart still aches for his family and the Huntsville police department.

I don't know the ages of officer Freeman's children, but if any are of age and would like to contact me. That offer stands for Mrs. Freeman as well.

I too have lost my dad in the line of duty, and if they need anyone to talk to then I will talk.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

As a longtime resident of southeast Huntsville, I want to express my shock and horror. This is the kind of thing we always think can't happen in our neighborhood, but it really can happen anywhere, I guess.

There are no words to adequately express the magnitude of this loss to our community and especially to Officer Freeman's family. To even try seems irreverent.

Thank you, Officer Freeman, for your sacrifice.

It is hard to express the feelings. I can only think back to the Academy and the good times that we had in spite of what seemed like a million miles run and all the push ups. You are my friend, but more importantly you are my brother. Rest easy brother for we will make sure that your family is taken care of.

I'll see you on the runway!
