There was a thread running here not long after Eds passing. http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/340...dal-honor.html

The bit I loved about Ed was his statement,

I then asked, "Sir, is it true that you delayed accepting the invitation to the White House for your medal presentation until after President Bush was inaugurated and Clinton was gone because you didn't want to receive your medal from a draft dodger?" He said, "Yeah, I kept coming up with excuses to put it off. I didn't want that filthy sonofabitch touching my medal with his filthy fingers."

Suggest you read the thread.
