A True Hero is Gone

Ed W. "Too Tall" Freeman (November 1927 - August 20, 2008)

From his citation:

After medical evacuation helicopters refused to fly into the area due to intense enemy fire, Captain Freeman flew 14 separate rescue missions, providing life-saving evacuation of an estimated 30 seriously wounded soldiers -- some of whom would not have survived had he not acted.

Hat tip to JR, who has more.
