it has been a rough few weeks here in iraq and in the course of war we lost a great man that i had the honor to meet through work. captain brian freeman was working tirelessly to arrange and organ transplant for an iraqi child through contacts in new york and he was coordinating with our team to apply media pressure. each time brian was in baghdad he would make time to stop in to our office and give us updates and because of his work he ranked as one of our favorite officers.
last week brian died as a result of injuries received when his meeting in a central iraq city was ambushed. just a couple of years older than me at 31, brian is survived by a young wife and two children.
we knew brian as passionate and dedicated. may his legacy lead to change here.
more.
just today the visa was approved for the iraqi child to travel to the u.s. for treatment - a lasting testament to capt. freeman's caring work.
