Light comes before dark two steps from hell movie
My birthplace was rural Buchanan, Henry County, Tennessee, in a remote community called “Blood River” (the river and community derive their name from battles fought between the Native-American Chickasaw Nation and the first white settlers alongside the river, legend has it that the stream ran red with blood following one fierce battle). I was born on May 14, 1924, the first child to Mason Noel Freeland and Wilby Lee Murphy. I was just an ordinary farm boy who dropped out of High School to leave the familiar wooded hills and hollows of West Tennessee to go north looking for a job in a defense plant. Roosevelt and young men and women from all ranks of life enlisted in the Armed Forces in an all-out effort to defeat the foe! The unprovoked attack of Decemon Pearl Harbor united the nation under President Franklin D. It involved all the major industrial countries, wrought unparalleled destruction, and it targeted civilians to an unprecedented extent. More than half a century after it ended, World War 2 remains the most total and destructive conflict in human history. He now wears the SSI of his previous combat unit he served with in WW2 on his right shoulder. Freeland was attached to Headquarters Tennessee Military District (and an active member in the ERC).
