FAC Memorial

Dan Morris and Rocky, I don't know if the name Ed "Too Tall" Freeman will ring a bell with you. He was not a FAC, but a Huey pilot. He was given the Congressional Medal of Honor for his action in going back in under heavy fire to evacuate a lot of guys who were hurting after the medivacs were told to pull out because the fire was too heavy. The story was told in the movie "We Were Young Once; and Soldiers."
He lived in Boise and had worked in aviation for the Dept of Interior. He died last week at the age of 80. I knew Ed Freeman and he was a heck of a nice fellow. The world lost a real hero. He told me it was just something he had to do.
