You're a 19 year old kid. Author Unk-
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.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about this illegal alien socialist that some call president birthday activities!!!
Shame on the American media !!!
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'm dissappointed, but not surprised.
Rather than fess up that you're dishonoring the memory of one of America's great heroes in order to ridicule the President (which is the main purpose of the article) - you are fessing up to dishonoring the memory of one of America's great heroes in order to ridicule *me*!!!
LOL - didn't realize you felt so highly of me that you would feel compelled to "draw me out" when I really hadn't posted anything in a while - I guess I must have really gotten under your skin.
Face it - you're all over the place with your nonsense. You figured nobody would notice - and you can't admit it. Nothing else I need to say. Why don't you go back to hiding behind JB and str2it before you make a bigger joke of yourself.
Let me explain as I am tired of this thread as it has proven many times over how easily you are manipulated. I told you at the outset that I would draw you out again. I did. I told you why I did it. I even took the time to break it down so even a simpleton as you could understand. Nevertheless, you continue blindly.
Now you confirm yet again, what was contained in my posts you deleted. Here you clearly state you were manipulated as I posted I would do. This is old now, islander. Move on you’re really making a south end of a north bound donkey of yourself, more than usual I should indicate. Gold is going up as the dollar weakens as obama rides the economy into the ground with failed socialist ideals. A loser just like you!
EXPEDITE THE EXPULSION OF ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!!
IMPEACH THE SOCIALIST!!!
Obama is an illegal alien as no proof of his birth has been satisfactorily established. Being clever just isn’t in the cards for you ole son.
EXPEDITE THE EXPULSION OF ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
IMPEACH THE SOCIALIST!!!
EXPEDITE THE EXPULSION OF ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
IMPEACH THE SOCIALIST!!!
