Memorial..
Nobody Flashes,
The older I get, the more I get it.
We can eat watermelons, hot dogs, barbecue, and listen to the children laugh and play in the sun.. on this weekend, where so many of us are having a great time with OUR families…
Because MILLIONS of our men (and woman) before us, gave their lives for this country.
From the first war, to the never-ending one today, there is nothing that can ever fully express…
The bravery of our soldiers.
God bless them all. And God help us, because now we have the enemy within.
We must all become soldiers.
Here’s One of Our Most Honorable…

After yesterday’s rant, I thought this would be a good uplifting piece to post. It’s from my very liberal, but very patriotic liberal friend. (Thanks to JR)
Captain Ed Freeman
You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam. It’s November 11, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.
You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you’re not getting out. You’re family is half 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 a Huey coming in. But…It doesn’t seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He’s not MedEvac so it’s not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs 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 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And he kept coming back, 13 more times! Until all the wounded were out.
No one knew until the mission was over that Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm. He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would have not made it without the Captain and his Huey.
Medal of Honor Recipient Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho. May God Bless and Rest HIs Soul.
I bet you didn’t hear about this hero’s passing. Shame on the American media.
Nobody Notes: this email is old…but it’s still worth noting.
American Hero Explains REAL Torture
Nobody Gets Email
Many Americans feel just like this man. This describes how Colonel Day was tortured in Vietnam, and frankly, I had trouble making it through this twice. But, reading this is mandatory to remind us all how many men have fought for what this country stands for, and we should NEVER give up fighting corruption and leaders who really don’t give a hoot about anyone but themselves, because men like Colonel Day gave their lives for us.

Colonel George Everett Day
I got shot down over North Vietnam in 1967, a Sqdn. Commander. After I returned in 1973…I published 2 books that dealt a lot with “real torture” in Hanoi. Our make believe president is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is.
As for me, I was put through a mock execution because I would not respond…Pistol whipped on the head…same event. Couple of days later…Hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got shot and captured. Shot was OK…what happened afterwards was not.
They marched me to Vinh..put me in the rope trick, ..almost pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut and my unshot, unbroken hand a pulp.
Next day hung me by the arms…rebroke my right wrist…wiped out the nerves in my arms that control the hands…rolled my fingers up into a ball. Only left the slightest movement of my L forefinger. So I started answering with some incredible lies.
Sent me to Hanoi strapped to a barrel of gas in the back of a truck. Hanoi…on my knees…rope trick again. Beaten by a big fool. Into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel. Much Kneeling—hands up at Zoo. Really had beating for refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson.
Several more kneeling events. I could see my knee bone thru Kneeling holes.
There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo. I was the Senior Officer of a large building because of escape…they started a mass torture of all commanders.
I think it was July 7, 1969…they started beating me with a car fan belt. In the first 2 days I took over 300 strokes, then stopped counting, because I never thought I would live through it.
They continued day-night torture to get me to confess to a non-existent part in the escape. This went on for at least 3 days. On my knees…fan belting..cut upon my scrotum with fan belt stroke. Opened up both knee holes again. My fanny looked like a hamburger. I could not lie on my back.
They tortured me into admitting that I was in on the escape …and that my 2 room-mates knew about it. The next day I denied the lie.
They commenced torturing me again with 1-6-or 9 strokes of the fan belt every day from about July 11 or 12th..to 14 of October 1969. I continued to refuse to lie about my roommates again.
Now, the point of this is that our make-believe President has declared to the world that we (U.S.) are a bunch of Torturers…Thus it will be OK to torture us next time when they catch us…because that is what the U.S. does.
Our make-believe President is a know nothing fool who thinks that pouring a little water on some one’s face, or hanging a pair of women’s pants over an Arabs head is TORTURE. He is a meathead.
I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness who was also in my squadron. In jail, as was John McCain…and we agree that McCain does not speak for the POW group when he claims that Al Gharib was torture..or that “water boarding” is torture.
Our President and those fools around him who keep bad mouthing our great country are a disgrace to the United States. Please pass this info on to Sean Hannity. He is free to use it to point out the stupidity of the claims that water boarding..which has no after effect…is torture.
If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC..hurrah for the guy who poured the water.

Calling Obama a meathead is extremely mild.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
