Born in North Texas, Freeman was too young to participate in WWII with his 5 older brothers. However, he always wanted to fight as a Marine and planned on joining up when the time came. That time was in June 1950 at the outbreak of the Korean War. After basic and combat training, Freeman made a trip across the Pacific with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. He fought with his fellow infantrymen on the front lines until his life almost came to an end when a grenade detonated in front of him. Freeman finished out the rest of his tour driving officers around and dodging mortar rounds. After the war, he married his sweetheart, had 4 kids and worked for Shell Oil for 30 years.
