An All American Falls – RIP Major Ed Freeman

If you read nothing else today, take the time to honor Ed Freeman, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, by reading this account of his actions:

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.
