A Much More Glorious Hilltop

Today, Richmond Hill said goodbye to a true American Hero. On Friday, August 7th, 2009, Captain Matt Freeman was killed in the line of duty while fighting for our country in Afghanistan. Matt was just like a lot of us. He grew up in Richmond Hill, went to church at RHUMC, and graduated from Richmond Hill High School. Matt was a true patriot. He was the second person in his family to graduate from the US Naval Academy, and he loved his country. Today, hundreds of people lined the streets of Richmond Hill to pay their respects to a man that gave everything for the country that he loved, as his casket was carried in a grand processional from Savannah International Airport to Richmond Hill Funeral Home.

Today, Captain Matt Freeman looks down on Richmond Hill from a different Hilltop than he is accustomed to. As Matt looks down from Heaven today, he sees what Richmond Hill really is; a group of people that love each other. Matt sees the people of Richmond Hill gathering around his beloved family and letting them know that we are here for them. Matt sees something beautiful. He’s looking down from a much different Hilltop, but it’s all the more glorious.
