What is really important...

[keith720]

You're a 19 year old kid.

You're critically wounded and dying in
The jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam ..

It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.

Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.

Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.

As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.

Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.

He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.

Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come.He's coming anyway.


And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.

And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!
Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho


May God Bless and Rest His Soul.


I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure heard a whole bunchabout Lindsay Lohan, Dr. Murray, that sicko Sandusky, and a 72- day sham marriage.

Shame on the media !!!


Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman


Now... YOU pass this along. Honor this real hero.

See his story in "We were soldiers" from the book "We were soldiers once, and young".

He flew in and out of the Ia Drang Valley all day bringing in ammo and taking out the wounded. Google, Hal Moore sometime....

MOH Recipient Ed Freeman Dies

Not diminishing his accomplishments at all - because everything in the email, he did - but his death was over 3 years ago now - there's no way the media is going to keep replaying that - they are way too fickle for that

but that was one HELL of a man

[Captain America]

............ that was one HELL of a man

Yes sir. Rest in peace , Captain Freeman.
