Does the media (news) miss truly important news?

PLEASE READ BEFORE ANSWERING

You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle some where in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.


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.

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 hearda
whole bunch about Whitney Houston, Lindsay Lohan, Dr. Murray, that sicko
Sandusky, and a 72-day sham marriage.

It's sad to see where the media puts our focus.


Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman

Now... YOU pass this along. Honor this real hero. Please
