REMEMBER---FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!
You're a19 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 outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from
100
or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medi-Vac
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, and you look up to see an
un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings
are on 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.
Let us remember him by forwarding this email
