Silvercorvette would do this better than I can but somebody needs to tell this story of a true American Hero that has passed away unnoticed but not forgotten.
Ed Freeman, Huey pilot Ia Drang Valley 11/14/65. You are wounded under murdeous machine gun fire so bad that Medi-Vac are grounded by commander. One lone Huey makes 13 trips under fire on every trip and evacuates 30 wounded men. Ed Freeman not a Medi-Vac pilot just a Huey pilot is making the trip to get you out. No he wasn't supposed to be there but he was there. Ed Freeman recently died in Boise ID. at age 80. for his actions he received the Nations highest honor. In these times of outlandish left wing nuts that are self serving and don't understand the word patriot his passing is just a footnote in history, but it is people like him that make me still proud to be an American. I'll take one Ed Freeman to all the crap we seem to have elected the past years. Farewell Ed You have made the word Patriot mean something. GOD BLESS YOU
