The story the Media did not cover

What you have not heard and what you may nev­er know could be the end of jour­nal­ism in Amer­i­ca.

There is an Amer­i­ca that for the most part has gone un-noticed, these days you might think that our nation needs to Apol­o­gize to every­one for every thing, that we need to take down the Ten Com­mand­ments, that we must remove or deface a Cross (an inan­i­mate object,)  down because it might offend some­one or that some­one has con­fused an object with a reli­gion?

But then You hear a sto­ry like this one. 

 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.  
     

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. (No Apol­o­gy is Need­ed)

I  bet you did­n’t hear about this hero’s passing,but we’ve sure
seen a whole bunch about Lind­say Lohan, Tiger Woods and the bick­er­ing  
of con­gress over Health Reform.

Shame on the Amer­i­can media if you can even call them the media any longer
for they do not report on the news, they only report on things that are sick
and depraved, they only report on news sto­ries they often can­not prove.

They even report on news sto­ries that are false and they do not fact check.
There are thou­sands of peo­ple Like Ed out there that are Amer­i­can Heroes.

Yet the media does not even know them…
