Forwarding from vet’s link:

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 s top 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.< /span>

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
