Michael Jackson dies and it's 24/7 news coverage. A real American hero
dies and not a mention of it in the news. The media has no honor and God
is watching
Ed Freeman
You're a 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 outnumbered 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 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 unarmed 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 on Wednesday, June 25th, 2009,
at the age of 80, in Boise , ID. May God rest his soul.
Medal of Honor Winner Ed Freeman! Since the media didn't give him the
coverage he deserves, send this to every red-blooded American you know.
THANKS AGAIN, ED, FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR OUR COUNTRY. Rest in Peace
