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.
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.
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.
RIP
