The word hero has become cheapened over the years. If you are a firefighter or cop and are wounded or killed in the line of duty you are a brave man/woman but not a hero, you are just doing the job you were hired to do. If you exceed those duties then, and only then, are you a hero.
Medivac pilots were brave men who risked their lives every time they made a pickup but that was what they were supposed to do. They were men just doing their jobs. Medivac pilots making pickups on hot LZs were heroes, every last one of them, weather they got a medal or not. They knew the risks and went in anyway.
Ed Freeman was a hero in the truest sense of the word. He wasn't flying medivac and picking up wounded comrades was not even his job. Still he went in, time after time, rescuing the fallen.

The men and women who put others above themselves are true heroes. Their stories of service and sacrifice should be required study for the youth of today who have so little regard and respect for true heroes.
Thank you, Captain Freeman for your service and courage!!
Thank you, Ava's Papa, for sharing the story.
