You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the La 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 Medi-Vac 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 1/2 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. 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, Idaho . 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".

The following is a letter I received from a fellow classmate, a veteran who is a retired Lt. Col and a person that does not forward information that is not reliable. The email speaks for itself and should be passed on to every American that made their choice for,........"CHANGE"?????
*Date: *June 29, 2009 2:20:59 PM PDT
>> *Subject: **David Jr. Meets His commander In Chief*
>> *David Jr. Meets His commander In Chief
>>
>>
>> *For those who do not know Dave Borden,
he is a former Black & Decker
>> employee who lives in Hanover . His son Dave Jr was serving
>> in Iraq and was
>> badly injured from a bomb explosion. Dave Jr has had over 38
>> surgeries to
>> date. The email below is from a recent visit from President
>> Obama, the email speaks for its self.*
>>
>>
>> Since Dave Jr. has been injured he has met and been overwhelmed
>> by many, many political and military "celebs". The list includes Bob
>> Gates, Sec of Defense, who came into his room and told him 3 or 4
times that
>> if Dave Jr. had any issues to call his cell phone number. It
includes Gen.
>> Petereus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for almost 45 minutes. The
>> General recalled vividly all of the circumstances around the
>> events that led to fighting that Dave was involved in. It includes
Sen.
>> McCain who arrived late on a Saturday afternoon during a thunder
storm,
>> unannounced, and talked to Dave Jr. about how similar their experiences
with
>> fate. It includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited to
attend the very
>> last Christmas party at the White House for the White House
Staff.
>> President Bush and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately
went to
>> Dave Jr.. President Bush knew Dave Jr.'s name as well as when and how he
was
>> injured. Dave Jr. had a picture taken with Laura and the
>> President that he has framed and will cherish forever. The list goes
on and on
>> of people coming in to meet Dave Jr. and the other wounded
warriors at
>> Walter Reed and Bethesda .
>>
>> Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval
Hospital with
>> another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was
>> supposed to arrive at 11:30 AM. He
finally got there at 3:00 PM.
(EDITOR'S NOTE
FROM
HERE. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE STOOD IN RANKS IN FULL DRESS
UNIFORM WAITING ON A DIGNITARY TO ARRIVE? IT DOES WONDERS FOR MORALE DOES IT
NOT?) He entered
>> the room with the wounded warriors and quickly shook each of
their hands.
>> He never asked their names, where they were from, or how they
were injured.
>> Then he left.

>>
>> Dave Jr. has met the people who really care about the military.
>> All he remembers from Obama is a weak handshake. The others
in the
>> room, younger and less exposed to the people that Dave Jr. has
met, were so
>> disappointed. Word about Obama's "insensitive" visit has spread
>> to the MATC ( the rehab facility) at Walter Reed and
>> throughout Bethesda . The military sees through his
phoniness.
>>
>> All I can say is that it is such a disappointment that this man is
>> Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces. He is an embarrassment
>> to our Nation.
>>
>> Regards,
