Freeman Family Reunion

Well, this weekend we headed down to Waynesboro, Ms for a family reunion (on Bretts side). We had the oppurtunity to meet alot of relatives we've never met before and it was such a neat experience.Although- i may not remember all these relatives names i sure did enjoy meeting them all and getting to know who fit where in the family or at least HEARING where they fit in!
Bretts dad (Keith)and his 2 uncles (Mike and Steve) were there so it was very nice being able to see them and spend some time with them. It has been a couple years since seeing them last! Upon first arriving there, we were introduced to some family and then shown some pictures(recent and OLD) of family members. I finally had the oppurtunity to see a picture of Bretts grandfather, Rube Alfred Freeman. He was such a handsome man!! Bretts grandfather, Rube, was in WWII (Battle of the Bulge), the Korean conflict and died in 1963 as an "advisor" in vietnam. His wife, Margaret received his "silverstar" and was nominated to Army "Ranger" Hall of Fame. I found learning about him to be so interesting.
Bretts grandmother, Margaret, unfortunately was NOT able to make the trip due to a knee replacement surgery she recently had. Although she was not there, she was missed very much and we will definately keep her in our prayers for a fast recovery!!:)
Everyone pretty much went around introducing themselves to everyone.There was lots of food and pictures and i even saw a blanket an older relative had made. When it was time to leave, of course MORE pictures were taken. It will be neat to have those pictures around for the next generations of FREEMANS to come.We had a good time and i feel so fortunate to be apart of this family reunion, it was neat having the oppurtunity of meeting some of Bretts relatives!!:)
