Actually, Capt. Ed Freeman died in 2008. This email 'forward' makes the rounds makes the rounds with the latest bad actor mentioned. Last year it was Chris Brown name, year before Michael Jackson and this year Tiger.
That's not to take away from what this man did. I was onboard my ship off the coast of VN when it happened and the news made the rounds thru the Navy's radiomen overnight. Hell of a guy doing what was over and above expectations. the word'hero' gets thrown around but this man iwas among the best.
