Ed Freeman 
You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia 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 MediVac 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 , ID ......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"

 Shame on the  American Media

Master Sgt. Richard Pittman, Marine Corps ◄

Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Rick Pittman is married to Patricia Pittman, AP/AR Clerk, Universal Forest Products Plant 381, Thornton, CA. A piece of ceramic in his eye meant legal blindness for young Rick, who dreamed of becoming a Marine. He hadn’t been able to pass an eye test through any branch of the military, when he found a creative way to try again through the Marines: When asked cover his left eye with his left hand and read from his right eye, he stealthily covered the bad eye instead and passed the exam. Rick spent 20 months in Vietnam, mostly in the jungle. A proud and diehard Marine, most of his military career was spent in the Military Police field. Rick retired as a master sergeant after almost 23 years in the Marine Corps.

“It’s good to know that at least one American corporation is taking the time to recognize the sacrifices of all those who provide us with security and protect our freedoms! It’s a great way to say ‘thanks’ to those who have served and that are serving today.” —Rick Pittman

Harold S. Deyo, Sr... Patriot... Soldier... Hero...
Today, on behalf of his family and friends, we would like to remember my father who, over many decades, was an unsung hero for something he and his men accomplished in 1946 after the end of the war with Germany.

In 1945 President Roosevelt died suddenly. President Truman picked up the reins at that most volatile time. The war in both Europe and the Pacific had ended by mid August of that year and the task of putting the world back together again fell to the Allied nations - primarily to the USA, the UK and The Soviet Union...http://www.millennium-ark.net/index1.html
