Saw this earlier today on X, and they say one man can’t save the world?

His uncommon valor, demonstrably changed the timeline for 29 families and to this very moment it’s an impossibility to contextual that.

While the exact number of descendants remains unknown, Captain Freeman's heroic actions undoubtedly had a profound and lasting impact on the lives of those he rescued and their families

I'm concerned about this - Ed Freeman passed in 2008. The sentiment in the thread is that this just happened. What's going on in here?

Well I feel stupid…but that’s not a new sensation.

It came across my feed about 12 hrs. ago.

You're not alone - it was implied by the OP.

Not to take anything away from Ed Freeman...

And the greatest call sign ever. Snakeshit. Officially Snake, but got changed to Snakeshit by those who knew him best. Too Tall and Snakeshit. That just sounds like two badasses coming to rescue you.

"Hero" is a word that gets tossed around a lot, but men like Ed Freeman are deserving of its use.
