You're a 19

year old kid.

You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley.

November 11, 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.

You look up to see an unarmed 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 anyway.

Even 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!!

He 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 , Idaho .

May God Rest His Soul.

I bet you didn't hear about this hero's

passing, but we sure have

seen a whole bunch

about Michael Jackson.

      WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Ravens coach John Harbaugh said “I’m going to have to wait” when asked about Diontae Johnson’s availability following Week 13’s loss to the Eagles. This comes a day after Harbaugh declined to comment on Johnson’s availability immediately after the loss when he said, “I’m not really ready to comment on that right now. I will be, but I don’t have enough information right now.” Whatever “information” Harbaugh needs is a mystery to most, but maybe he’ll gather that intel during the team’s Week 14 bye. Since being acquired by the Ravens’ at the trade deadline, Johnson has run 19 routes while playing on 39 offensive snaps. Johnson didn’t see the field in Sunday’s loss despite Rashod Bateman exiting early with a knee injury. Bateman’s injury isn’t believed to be long-term, but it will be interesting to see if Johnson sees an increase in playing time should Bateman miss a game or two

      Week 13 other games

      Wouldn't 300 yards and 2 TDs passing be considered "lighting it up" vs. the Eagles?  I take "lighting it up" to be an exceptional performance, not just NFL standard play. Don't you?

      Bryce Young QB School vs Bucs

      This must be one of his more popular videos because he drops these Bryce so quickly.
