        Courage.

        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 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 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 seen
        a whole bunch about Michael
        Jackson and Tiger Woods.




        Medal of Honor
        Winner Captain Ed Freeman





        Shame on the American media !!!


        Now ... YOU pass this along to YOUR
        mailing list. Honor this real American.

        Please.
        " The General "
