There are great patriots in America who still honor the late Congressional Medal of Honor receipient Ed “Too Tall” Freeman

One never knows the connections that might be made online these days — and not all of them are of the negative variety.
I had the pleasure of talking with Bill Rogers from New York who happened to run across my MDB post from 2016 on Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Ed “Too Tall” Freeman and he took the initiative to look up my phone number and left me a voicemail. I think he was looking for a way to contact the Freeman’s family (likely in Idaho), but I returned his call and we had a very pleasant conversation just the same.
He asked if I would like to listen to the song he and his wife wrote about Captain Ed Freeman. Politely I said yes (not expecting much) and mentioned that I would like to include it on my personal blog. He agreed and forwarded it on to me — it brought goosebumps to my arm and is wonderful to know still exists (see X.com post below the break too).

I’ll also include my repost from @Ikennect on X.com that might have been what triggered Bill’s deeper dive?
A true hero story for you👇🏼
You're a 19-year-old kid.
You are critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
It's November 14, 1965. LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards… pic.twitter.com/oA7ORocGZU— I am Ken (@Ikennect) May 12, 2025
