“COURAGE ~ A PRAYER, AND A MOMENT OF SILENCE, FOR A LOST AMERICAN HERO”

[George W. (gfwjr) "Oath-Keeper"]

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
