Kenneth H. Hickman

Early in 1958 Kenny Hickman, a star athlete and a graduate of Freeport High School's class of 1954 left his hometown of Freeport, IL to serve in the U.S. Military (Navy). On the morning of Thursday July 31, 1958 young Hickman, 22 years old was lost at sea while serving abroad the USS Bristol 857, a Naval destroyer. There was a memorial held abroad the USS Bristol, but none ever in Freeport. After almost 61 years we plan to join Kenny's family in celebrating his life and be present when Kenny is honored with the first Military Memorial Service here in his hometown. We extend an invitation to those near and far wishing to be a part of the celebration of life of the late FT3 Kenneth H. Hickman. A luncheon will be served 2-4:00 P.M. at the Moose Lodge 601 E. South Street, Freeport, Il 61032
