Real Hero!

Michael Spykes,
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 gu…ns 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 a 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 the 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 not have made it without the Captain and his Huey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Army, 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, but we’ve sure heard a whole bunch about Kobe Bryant’s divorce, Dr. Murray, that sicko Sandusky, and a 72-day sham marriage. Shame on the media !!! Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman Now… YOU pass this along. Honor this real hero!!!!!!

FINDING A CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR PROJECT.

Lets understand something, finding a contractor is not easy, or is it. We know license contractors have at least four years of experience in a TRADE. FACT – contractors that just received their license are more eager to do a better job, (they need the reviews). FACT – new contractors have less overhead and profit. FACT – if a contractor says they a the best, RUN AWAY!!

Set reasonable ground rules, there are more lies than truths. When interviewing a contractor – keep it simple – you are going to see the contractor and their workers for the life of your project.

If the lowest price is the only concern, then you need to get ready for a the ride of your life.

Good Hunting!
