A news article about Ed Freeman.

MEDAL OF HONOR: ED W. FREEMAN - The Daily Nightly - msnbc.com


The complete After Action Report written by LTC Hal Moore who was in command of the troops on the ground at LZ X-Ray during the Ia Drang Battle.

http://www.lzxray.com/documents/aar-xray.pdf

Three Medals of Honor were won during the battle, two Huey Pilots (Bruce Crandal and Ed Freeman) and a infantry Platoon leader (Marm).

Oddly enough....all three survived the action although Marm was severely wounded but went on to retire as a Colonel.
