Subject: Damn Right I'll Forward It
You're a 19 year old kid.
You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam...
It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the 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.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.
He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs 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 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.
And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman,United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho
May God Bless and Rest His Soul.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure heard a whole bunch about WhitneyHouston, Lindsay Lohan, Dr. Murray, that sicko Sandusky, and a 72- day sham marriage.
Shame on the media !!!
Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman
Now... YOU pass this along. Honor this real hero.
Please.

Thank you for sharing John. Captain Ed Freeman was a true hero. Blessing him on the next chapter of his journey.
John: I read this story of heroism and I couldn't help but conjure a rear of how proud I and all true Americans are of Mr freeman's contributions to our once freedoms.Then I think of the filthy scum Nazi/Commie Enemy combantant leading our troops into hopeless situations of potential death for illegal reasons,guarding poppy fields isn't fighting for freedom,it's defending themselves from the local criminals who want to seize the fields for their own financial greed,so they can control the poison that ultimately gets on the streets of America and slowly kills off our weak minded class of poor ditraught souls.This miscreaton piece of absolute trash,Obama,needs to be arrested immediately,along with Bush's,Clintons,and all the traitors to this country,tries for crimes of high treason and executed for all the world to see what we do to bastards like these,thet includes all the commie Czars,especially,their head Czar,Nazi,Cass Sustien,He's tight out of Hitler's SS. Well it looks like ,John you need to stop looking for intell fromm your bogus,rebbitt hole informers,thet obvisously want to discredit you,they have been wrong the last two times,why would you continue to post their disinfo?
Thank You and how right you are.
John,
There are no Medal of Honor "Winners", all are recipients. All MOH Recipients will clearly state, it was not a race and you are not awarded the Nation's Highest Military Honor for winning...Just for Valor and Bravery. God Bless Our Veterans!
