The following was forwarded to me as well as many others and I decided to put it here on my blog rather than forwarding it on! I would like to see things like this get as much exposure as possible!
When you find this on my blog, if you feel like forwarding on to your friends, please do so!
In my opinion, to much of our media today is completely unaware of what is important to give coverage to and what isn't!

You're a 19 year old kid.
You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley.
November 11, 1965.
LZ X-ray , Vietnam .
Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away,
that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac 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 1/2 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 an unarmed Huey. But ... it doesn't seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you.
He's not Medi-Vac so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the Medi-Vacs 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 2 or 3 of you on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses.
And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!
He took about 30 of you and your buddies out who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , Idaho .
May God Rest His Soul.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch
about Michael Jackson. . .
Medal of Honor Winner

Today's Devotion:
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and
if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
I Corinthians 13:2 NRSV
Love is the highest gift of God. All visions or revelations are little things compared to love.
Beware of judging people to be either right or wrong by your own feelings. Beware of thinking, "Because I am filled with love, I need not have so much holiness. Because I pray always, therefore I need no set time for private prayer. Because I watch always, therefore I need no particular self-examination." Let this be our voice: "I prize your commandments above gold or precious stones. What love have I unto your law!"
I appeal to you: Beware of bigotry. Beware of self-indulgence, yes, and making a virtue of it.
John Wesley
