This is a picture of my dad, one of the founders of the CIA and top advisor to JFK.
Photo's caption, National Geographic April 1968, 1st Lt. Carl M. Freeman III:
"Smiles of welcome light the faces of Mnong women and children at Buon Rocai as Lt. Freeman pays a surprised visit. Devoted to the people's welfare, the American helped reconstruct a bridge and rebuild a burned-out village; with the aid of U.S. Army medic Owen Wright of Dallas, Texas., he expanded medical facilities to treat the sick. After four months of intensive effort, Freeman collapsed of exhaustion and malaria. Now recovered, he commands the Special Forces team at An Lac."
@freemo wow! such a honor, hats up to your dad
@geantonicelli I have quite the family history to live up to in general onn my dads side.. there are books written aboutt my paternal lineage and its all a bit overwhelming honestly.
@freemo I guess sometimes it may be challenging to feel living in the shadow of someone else but in fact you are a part of this bright family history, everyone try their best on the own circumstances and they are very different for everyone including time. In my case I don't have any remarkable story to report in my that I am aware of, but nonetheless everyone there has their own successes to be proud of.
@geantonicelli I've done a pretty good job for myself so far :) I think by the end of it all I will have lived up to the family name :) we shall see.
