For the health section, it's worth mentioning he had stage 1 colon cancer in 2010 though it was successfully treated. Source: ~2026-12653-42 (talk) 00:47, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Wrong Military Rank needs fixed

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

When Freeman was an A1C it was paygrade E4 (three stripes). It has now been revised downward for no obvious reason to E3 grade (two stripes) with the 3-stripe rank now called "Senior Airman", which for a brief time IIRC was the name of the two-stripe rank. The change was extremely confusing, since during Freeman's time it was not a "junior" rank, but rather the top of the non-NCO grades, those holding it often called "Sarge" as a courtesy. The xref to Freeman's page shows the correct rank insignia (3 stripes) for his time. ~2026-20211-28 (talk) 15:16, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
