Did You Know Ed Freeman Died ?

[DR104 141]

You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle

in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is

out numbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards

away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac 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 1/2 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, and you

look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac

markings are on 0A it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's

flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs 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 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through

the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.

And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times...... And took about 30 of you

and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in

Boise, ID ......May God rest his soul.....

I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we sure were told a whole

bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward beating the crap out of his "girlfriend".

Medal of Honor Winner Ed Freeman!

Shame on the American Media !!!
