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
Medevac 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
helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn’t seem
real, because no Medevac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you. He’s not Medevac, so it’s not his job, but
he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, 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
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 Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
at the age of 80, in Boise, IDAHO. May God rest his soul……….
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.
