This guys badass
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 august 20 2008 at age 80, 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.
We should hear more about real heros like Ed freeman not the f**king celebrities that are nothing to me.
Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman RIP and thanks for your service and saving those men.
