Capt. Ed Freeman RIP

 You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in The jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.  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. Your 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 g

Tacky, tacky, tacky.........

This Ladies & Gents. Is the Kardashians Christmas card. Thankfully I didn't get one. Apparently there is a 3D version too. No doubt for that one you have to send  $19.99 for the glasses. BOLLOCKS.............
