    Death of a Vietnam war hero

    By DaneM  |  Posted March 26, 2012  
     
    Medal of Honor Recipient,Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho . He was a Huey pilot who flew into landing zone (LZ) X-ray several times, under heavy enemy fire, against orders not to send anymore helicopter, to save 29 injured men. Nobody knew Captain Freeman had been shot 4 times during his unofficial flights into LZ X-ray until he couldn't fly anymore that day. This is an exceptional human being who's passing deserves a brief mention on CNN. Please make time between the Lindsey Lohan and Whitney Huston stories to remember Capt. Freeman and the sacrifice he made for us.
