Fwd: Fw: Ed Freeman Short read but don't miss it.

Ed Freeman You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, 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, and you look up to see an un-armed 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, 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..... And 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, ID ......May God rest his soul..... I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we sure were told a whole bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward beating the crap out of his "girlfriend" Medal of Honor Winner Ed Freeman! Shame on the  American Media The Average US Credit Score is 692. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!

This is getting lost, Cooper says, amid the uproar over $165 million in bonuses at American International Group Inc. and the annual pension of 703,000 pounds ($1 million) that Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc granted to former chief executive Fred Goodwin, whose Edinburgh home was just vandalized.

"People are understandably upset about the bonuses at AIG and Fred Goodwin's pension," says Cooper, 40, a fixed-income fund manager at BlueCrest Capital Management Ltd. in London. "But it's distracting us from much bigger questions."

that is literally a great point.  I believe I saw a political cartoon the other day suggesting we're trying to smash a fly on a whales back.. the fly being these bonuses and the whale AIG.
