Terry Kilbane

Gone 5 years on ( July 6 1967 )
I think about and pray to Terry
and my other friends who died in Vietnam
and ALL Fallen heroes EVERY day

LCPL - E3 - Marine Corps - Regular
20 year old Single, Caucasian, Male
Born on Jan 31, 1947
From PARMA, OHIO Length of service 1 year.
Casualty was on July 06, 1967

in QUANG TRI, SOUTH VIETNAM
HOSTILE, GROUND CASUALTY
ARTILLERY, ROCKET, or MORTAR

Panel 23E - - Line 20
Below is the rubbing I got of Terence Terry Kilbane
Nov 15th 2014 When the traveling wall was On Cape Coral FL

and the PIC of Terry's name
">

Terry was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery
Brookpark Road
Brookpark Ohio
I was informed Terry was buried there July 17, 1967
and moved to Arlington National Cemetery, Va., March 25, 1993

The Association's - "Windy" was the number one song the week Terry died

Terry too joined the Marines and was not drafted

Terry was the first of my friends to die.
I met Terry through friends at Holy Family Church on York road -
he was a year behind me at Valley Forge High School ( class of 1966 )
Terry was the spark which makes a car run - the center of attention -
Just A great guy to know ---
He occasionally played football with us at Dennis Tepper s House.

Here is a startling co-incidence - Terry's Father, Joe was a Cleveland Police Detective,
and worked with my father, WHO WAS A NARCOTICS DETECTIVE in Cleveland
Terry was also a classmate of mine @ Valley Forge

In another case of a degree of separation --
Me and Terry shared the same jobs
as he was a "flyboy"
sort of a Jr apprentice
in the pressroom at the Cleveland Press and Cleveland Plain Dealer
previous to his joining the Marine in The summer of 1966
I started working there in June of 1967
But having never been aware Terry too had worked there before me until recently when I read His bio at
the site found Here
clevelandvetsmemorial.org

Yet One more strange event:
On Oct 2nd 2007
I was revising this page and
I still did not have a picture of Terry Kilbane
after many attempts to contact Valley Forge High School
I remember saying to myself I wish I had a pic of Terry to include on my page

The picture of Terry included here was found
The very next day - Oct 3rd 2007 in an email I received:
Here is that email:

Hi

I’m Terry Kilbane’s younger brother and came across your website.
What a wonderful thing you are doing for all these brave
guys who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
I’m forwarding some info on Terry so hopefully
you can incorporate it in your site.

Thanks and God Bless!!

Kevin Kilbane

Here is the info he forwarded to me
It is where I found THE PICTURE
NOW included on this page

It is copyrighted Greater Cleveland Veterans Memorial Page
Click Here
to get a glimpse into what Terry endured
in Viet Nam and how his family has dealt with his passing

I believe that Terry, Bill, Greg, are still very active
- guiding, protecting and helping us ALL

Just ask them

God Bless Them

Thanks so much for doing this. I knew Terry Kilbane.
We were in Columbus, Georgia, visiting my oldest daughter and her husband
who works at the base now after his service.
When “The Wall” was at Ft. Benning, we toured, and just as you indicated,
it was tough to fight back the tears. I would urge anyone,
even if they are not from that era and don’t know anyone who
gave up their life in service to and for us, t
o visit the memorial and make a rubbing.
It affected me deeply.

Terry was a great guy.
After they published his diary of his last days and the grueling combat
he and his comrades were caught up in,
I mentioned the article to my brother
who was a plainclothes officer on the Cleveland police department at the time.
I told him that I knew Terry from school
which caught my brother by surprise and he told me his partner was a relative of Terry’s.
I wish I could remember whether he said his partner was Terry’s cousin or uncle,
but that was so long ago.

In any case, I thank you for taking the time to do this. None of them should ever be forgotten.

Here is a response from Ken Leib after I mentioned in an email to him
the connection from Terry to Cleveland Police

Hi Bill. It’s a world made smaller by FB and all social media. Grant and Will Leiby were,
of course in my homeroom for four years and we were friends.
My closest friends were Dale Butterfield, Bob Reimer, Jim Petrick, Rich Kempton.
Terry and I became fairly good friends through classes
although we didn’t hang around together much.

I came from a family with several Cleveland Police Dept.
connections beginning with my great grandfather
who was Safety Director around the turn of the century (1900),
a cousin who was Elliot Ness’ driver when he was mayor of Cleveland,
a cousin who was an inspector and my brother who spent 34 years in the department
with most of it as plain clothes.

His birthday is around Thanksgiving and I’ll be giving him a call.
My wife and I have lived north of Cincy since we married
so I don’t get to see my brother much but
I’ll ask him whether his partner was Terry’s dad
or uncle because I cannot, for the life of me, remember what he told me.
He’s 82 with a triple bypass so his memory isn’t what it was,
but then I’m 67 without his heart problems, yet, and my memory isn’t anything like it was either.
I always told people that having teenagers killed my brain cells.

I hope things are going well for you.
Once I find out for sure about my brother’s partner,
I’ll drop you a line. Take care, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

and another example of it being a small world
The sister in Law of this next soldier
liked a post about this page
I messaged her and asked if she had a loved one she wanted added 
she gave me his name
Daniel Jackson McMahan

while looking up his info at http://thewall-usa.com 
I saw he was from Cleveland. OH 
of course you know that is my hometown
Then I noticed her name again "McMahan" 
and asked her if she had a relative 
who worked as a bar tender at the Nightclub my Family Owned in Parma
to my amazement she said the woman was her cousins wife
and that she had been to our club many times

From Ron M - 
Class of 1965 @ Valley Forge High School
 Parma Heights, OH.
My Memory of Henry Charles Sanford 
Our Class 45TH Reunion Page is @  This link HERE 
Henry was a Parma High School graduate.
Henry was one of my best boyhood friends from 7th grade class 
@ a school we attended together while living in Des Moines Iowa
In 1960 we both moved elsewhere and as things like that go we lost track of each other.
 As incredulous as this sounds --- years later, I was in the Parma post office buying 1 stamp
I noticed a guy whom, at that second, resembled my old 7th grade friend
I approached him and we talked & and it turned out - 
after all the moving ( 3 times for me & 2 times for him ) 
we both lived in Parma less than a mile from each other
 divided only by the Parma High School & Valley Forge HS dmz line
Unfortunately I found out he was killed in Viet Nam only months later by a Viet Cong boobie trap
Henry Sanford was a great GREEN BERET
God rest his soul

Silver Star  Citation - Post Humously

Now Sgt Mc Brides Story

KIA AWARDS AND CITATIONS Silver Star
 Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War
 The President of the United States of America,
takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) 
to Staff Sergeant Claude William McBride,
 United States Army, for gallantry in action 
while engaged in military operations in Vietnam,
 on 17 August 1963, and serving as an Advisor 
to a Combat Patrol of Vietnamese irregular forces.
 As the only American advisor in the lead 
 of this patrol, Sergeant McBride demonstrated courage,
 strategy, and professional competence which insured 
the success of the patrol's mission.
 When the change in terrain presented the probability
 of an ambush by hostile forces, 
he directed the point element to advance further ahead
 of the main body of the patrol 
to avert a surprise attack. 
Immediately upon completion of this move,
 the point element with Sergeant McBride in the third position,
 was attacked by insurgents 
with small arms fire from a distance of approximately twenty meters.
 Then, with fortitude and determination,
 he exposed himself to the direct line of the gun fire
 from a distance of ten meters and
 led the members of the point element in a charge
 which forced the insurgents to abandon the ambush
 Mc Brides brave action, personal example, 
and deep concern for his Vietnamese counterparts 
prevented heavy casualties and inspired 
the Combat Patrol to pursue their efforts 
in the defense of their homeland.
He died on Aug 23 from his woulds
 Sergeant McBride's conspicuous gallantry
 was in the highest traditions of the United States Army 
and reflects great credit upon himself 
and the military service.
 The number 1 song on the day Claude Mc Bride died was 
"Stevie Wonder - Fingertips (Part 2)"

Here is a message I received through my Face Book Page
about Lonnie Floyd, I feel honored the family would allow me to post this
Brenda Underwood June 24 at 12:35am 

I just visited your site and was speechless
 while listening and reading the tributes. 
It really touched my heart because my brother 
Lonnie A. Floyd was KIA 1-14-67 while serving with the 173RD ABN.
 He was 19. 
Just today I received an email from a fellow who had been in basic 
training with my brother 
and he told me many things I had not either 
remembered or ever knew about Lonnie during their training. 
I was only 14 then and 16 when Lonnie was killed.
 I wish you had known him. 
If you have a chance please visit Lonnies VietNam Veterans Memorial Fund site 
 http://www.vvmf.org/index.cfm?SectionID=110&Wall_Id_No=16532 

 
and read a little bit about this wonderful soldier who will 
always be young in my heart. 
Thank you for allowing me to visit your 
site and learn a bit about your friends.
 God Bless.

And a follow up to the first message:
Brenda Underwood June 24 at 11:12am 

Good morning Bill. I will be honored to have Lonnie's link posted to
 your site among your fallen friends. 
He would be proud & you would've be 
proud to have him as a friend. 
His grave has never gone one day 
without a flag & flowers and I've made sure thru my children & 
grandchildren that his legacy and memory will always be in their hearts.
 My mother visited The Wall with our local Vietnam Veterans Chapter 
when the Wall was dedicated and never missed a Veteran's Day 
til the year before she died in '03.
 My husband & I have always visited the Wall on Memorial Day
 and ridden with the Rolling Thunder Group on the Sunday before.
 It's a trip that grows more dear to me each year.
 I know Lonnie is looking down on us & while at the Wall
 I can almost hear him say "I love you Little Sis". 
Thanks Bill for your page 
& next year at The Wall I will look for your 
friends names & leave a part of my heart with them too
service and sacrifice == Thanks so much.

Once More 
I often think about these friends and the others  - 
their faces are as clear today 
as when I saw them for the last time over  55 years ago. 
Sometimes I sit on my lanai and listen to Kenny Rogers song 
 "2O YEARS AGO " and find myself again weeping. 
As I think about my life and the successes I have had and the failures I have succumbed to - 
the good things and the bad - 
I remember these good men - 
and MANY of the other 58,248 men and women
 who died in Viet Nam NEVER had a chance to experience things -
What would they have accomplished if they had lived - 
if they had 
children 

what heights would they reach - 
in most cases we would never know  
.
We were all just kids 
-- so young with so many ambitions - 
so many hopes and dreams - 
What a tragedy

Here is an email I received from a woman who remembers those days:
Hi Bill;


I am listening to your web-site as I write this. 
I was a young lady during the Viet Nam conflict, 
and did not understand why the troops were being treated so badly,.

So I sent letters through the USO and would receive answers for awhile 
--- then one day the letters would stop........I have never ask why,
I only prayed that a son came home. 
That a husband was reunited with his family,
or that old buddies were sharing a drink with friends
 at the local gathering spot.

Once in awhile, in a dream I will remember a name-but never while awake
--so I did not look through the lists. 
Thank you, Bill for taking so much trouble to remember these men and women
----I will think of them as Grandparents and angels and love them still.


Lovingly, Mrs. Kitty Scheuerman

Here is something I could NEVER understand
For years over 11,000 people PER YEAR have died in the U.S. from guns and heroin overdoses 
that equates to APPROX 30 per day 
That number far exceeds the daily numbers of those killed 
in every war except our civil war and WWII 
Where are the protesters to change our guns laws
and demand the source of the heroin Be stopped  ?
It seems they were out in the 10's of millions against the Vietnam war 
and yet we still are killing and maiming each other 
in record numbers (100,000 PER YEAR or 273 per day are wounded by guns 
of those approx 3000 are children under 10 ) 
Again: 30 per day die from gun related shootings
and just Heroin overdoses  

Do you think the boys and girls who died in our wars wanted to die
so we would have the "right" to kill or hurt each other 
although that is what the gun lobby would have you believe

....There is More on the battle of Iwo Jima  Below  
~~~~~~~~
It is amazing that JUST OVER 1 million U.S. soldiers and U.S. combatants
 have died in all the wars we have fought since 1776 
most OF THOSE ( 600,000 ) WERE killed in Our Civil War, 
with over 51,000 dying in three days
 at The Battle of Gettysburg July 1 to 3rd 1864 
BUT OVER 1,200,000 have been Killed / injured by guns on our streets JUST since 1970 
shame on ^^^^^^^
 Now the statistics on wars The U.S has fought in the last 100 years 
The numbers OF THOSE KILLED AND WOUNDED IN ACTION
 ARE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WAR.
I have added an average daily death toll for each conflict
to compare that to the 85 people still being Killed each DAY in the U.S. from Guns 

If you don't believe that figure go HERE 
85 people per day 
are Killed by guns in the U.S. that equates to OVER 31,000 per year -
 In the years since the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, started 
we have lost over 6000 soldiers or 1.1 per day
My point here is - 
Why aren't the people who are protesting the war 
- trying to stop the slaughter on our streets

U.S.  Stats
Killed in WW I 
 1914 - 1917 
= Total served = 3,134,991 ~ killed in action = 53,402 ~

World War II

7 Dec 1941 — 2 Sep 1945 approximately 1400 days

291,557 Killed In Combat plus 

~  113,420 = died in non combat action ~
 wounded = 670,846 
  Which is nearly 290 deaths per day 
The bloodiest single battle ever in U.S foreign wars 
was the period from Feb 18 1945 to March 25th 
During the battle for Iwo Jima

nearly 7000 Marines and Navy personnel lost their lives

That is 48+ per day killed from all causes

Approximate length = 3220 days

4 Aug 1964 ( this date is not set in stone ) as The U.S. had troops in Vietnam for many years

"the day we have all worked and prayed for has finally come." 
Actual date of large troop arrival was March 13th 2005 

Total served = 8,744,000 ~~ Killed in Military Combat = 47,457 ~ 
Died from Non Combat wounds / injuries =
 10,796 ~ 
wounded = 53,303 
    Total Dead in Viet Nam = 
 58,249 of which 8 were women
That equates to just over 17 per day killed

Iraq 1 = 1991 = 269 killed in an action 
from all causes 
The fighting lasted approximately 70 days ( 3.9 per day )

Updated May 22nd 2016 

	  Because 
The present Iraq war ( Enduring Freedom ) = 2003-2016 = is Ongoing 
and we are now approximately  4900 days into it as of This update
These figures may be off by a small margin 
I will attempt to update them frequently 
American Deaths	
 	
Since war began (3/19/03): 4398 have died 
37,120 wounded 
That is  approx. 1.8 deaths per day

	
Most of the 4389 U.S Troops killed in Iraq since the 2003
 action began were killed since the war Officially ended (5/1/03)
The low per day death toll is due mainly because of the quick response
 and improved methods of getting wounded to medical facilities
Here is a daily update of the casualties  HERE

Afghanistan 
Now the focus of our EFFORTS AGAINST TERRORISM is Afghanistan  
The death toll is rising in this god forsaken country as we send more troops into the conflict 

US Military Deaths 2001 to 2016 - Afghanistan US 1800 
that is one U.S. death every 2.2 days 
The lowest daily rate in ANY war -

the Stories Of  My Father
 followed by the memories of a few other  Police Oficers I knew
My father Detective A. A. Tomsk - 
Detective Geaorge Zicarell - Killed on Duty 
and  My Friend and Valley Forge High School classmate - 
Cleveland Police Officer Fred Vacha 's Murder 
^^^^^
First Remembering My Dad 
Detective Adolph Tomsk
  

Dad was a Cleveland Policeman for 25 years from 
Aug 20th 1946 to Aug 20th 1971 
He served as a Military Police Officer in 
The Iraq, Burma, India Theater during World War II
reaching the Rank Of First Lieutenant 
He joined the Cleveland Police Force in 1946

 He rose to being a detective in 1950 
and remained one for 21 of his 25 years 
at first working on the Narcotics Squad
where he was injured on Duty 
while arresting a Heroin Dealer 

How irresponsible was it of the Plain Dealer to print our address ? 
Luckily they spelled his name wrong 
After his operation  he was transferred 
to duty in Bunco, and Finally Selective Service / Extradition
 bringing back draft dodgers 
and prisoners from out of state  
*****
 
Another of the over 150 articles written about my dad's 
activity during his 25 year career
 
I miss him 
He was My Hero and he passed in 1991
He worked two jobs ever since I could remember 
16 hours per day - 48  weeks a year
  His second job was as dock manager for Motor Express 
an Over the road trucking firm
We always took a nice vacation in the summer 
the best was a 3 week  road trip
 to the west coast in 1955 - I was 8 
He bought a new 1955 4 door Chevy Bel Aire ( Turquoise over White )  
He loved to fish and hunt and would take me with him many times 
It was those days I looked forward to 
In the woods or on a boat with him 
he always had two thermoses of Onion Soup

Now Cleveland Police Patrolman Frederick Vacha Jr's Story 

He was murdered on duty by a Heroin Dealer
Fred was a high school mate of mine 
at Valley Forge High School in Parma Heights Ohio 
We graduated in 1965
Fred would have been 
74 years Old July 15th 2022 

1965 Valley Forge classmate and friend 
- Fred Vacha was also a  
A Former United States Marine 
 
Only to be gunned down doing his job protecting others
 
He was killed
on the streets of Cleveland Ohio
by known heroin dealer Floyd Graham 
June 20th 1973
~~~~~00~~~~~
Incident Details

Age 26 

Cause of Death: Gunfire

Date of Incident: Wednesday, June 20, 1973

Weapon Used: Handgun; 9 mm

Suspect Info: Floyd Graham Sentenced to life
He was having parole hearings every 5 years
until the family petitioned the parole board 
to extend the "Flop" hearings to 10 years 
  ( see further below for the results
 of that petition to keep Floyd behind bars  

Patrolman Vacha was brutally and mercilessly shot and killed
 as he and his partner patrolled a 
high crime area as part of the Impact Task Force. 
The two officers 
observed a known drug dealer 
 ( Floyd Graham ) 
acting suspiciously and pulled up alongside of him. 
As Patrolman Vacha called out to the man ( Floyd Graham ) 
he approached the squad car and
 immediately 
opened fire with a 9mm handgun. 
 Patrolman Vacha was hit in the head, 
killing him instantly. 
The other officer John Saccany 
was struck three times in the legs 
 and suffered serious injuries 


The suspect ( Floyd Graham ) was arrested a short time later. 
He was sentenced to two life 
sentences for Patrolman Vacha's death and the attack on his partner.


Patrolman Vacha had served on the Department for 4 years.

What a great web-site you have set up. 
I saw your comments on the petition and couldn't help but wonder 
what I may find if I typed my dad's name in and did a search. 
All of the friends and other people you have listed on this web-site would be so proud
 and honored that you have done this. 
Thank you for not forgetting and for giving me a place where I can see my Dad's face on the computer.
 My dad was Fred Vacha and although I don't remember knowing him, 
I think of him always.

Here is an email I received Oct 9th 2007 in regards to Fred and two other classmates named here: 


 Bill,
 

 Thanks for your work regarding the website honoring
 our friends and classmates from "Forge".

 
 I am a '68 VF grad and lived next door to Fred Vacha

 on Commonwealth Blvd. in Parma Hts. from 1960 to
 1968.   
Before Fred lost his life as a Cleveland
 police officer in the fifth district
 (along Buckeye
 Road) in 1973,  
he also served honorably with the United
 States Marine Corp.  
 Although Fred never did a tour
 in Vietnam,  
his dedication to the Cleveland PD is
 most deserving of your mention  
and those of us who
 knew him and his 3 brothers Jim, Lou and Don, 
 thank
 you. 

 
 Bill Rollason and Tom Ewalt were also friends of
 mine.  
Bill was in my vocational electronics class
 for 3 years and always had just the right 
 wisecrack
 at just the right time.   
Tom and Bill and I all
 arrived at Valley Forge  
after our junior high years
 at Pleasant Valley Junior High.
 

 I often think of Bill, Tom and Fred and was amazed
 to see their names  
and tributes after stumbling
 across your site. 

 
 Thanks again!  Your tribute is very much
 appreciated.

 I will post updates on any upcoming online petitions 
to keep Fred Vacha's Killer 
 ( Floyd Graham ) in jail 
Thank you for your support 
(over 11,000 signed the last petition ) 
Again: It seems Graham was coming  up for parole every 5 years 
but because of the parole board finally
 granting the family's numerous request
to extend that period to every 10 years
the next hearing is now in 2023 
HERE is an article about patrolman 
Fred Vacha's Killer 
parole hearing 
and the family's request for an extension
 between future hearings from 5 to to 10 years  
I received an email From Stephen Loomis 
President of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Assoc.
in Aug  2013 
in answer to my inquiry as to the outcome of the hearing 
 Here is that answer 
*
I don't believe what  happened - 
as I went back to read the complete petition page 
on my second visit to the petition page 
I saw that Fred's partner was named --- John Saccany
The hair on the back of my neck stood up 
John went to Community College with Bill Papa and myself in 1965 and 1966 and 
then, I also worked with John's father - Hank Saccany at the Plain Dealer Art Gravure Division 
from 1967 until Hank died from a gunshot 
John's injuries forced him off the Police Department 
but went on to become a very successful lawyer in Cleveland 
 it gets even stranger and stranger, 
as John is in a law firm with another Fraternity Brother of Bill Papa and Myself - Jim Szaller of Szaller and Brown 
There is another coincidence with Terry Kilbane and The Plain Dealer told in Terry's memoriam section
Talk about six degrees of separation - I get goose flesh

Another tribute found on the web to Soldiers
We were American Soldiers


We were members of the United States Armed Forces.

The protectors of the greatest nation on earth.

We were proud of the uniform we wore,

We always acted in ways creditable to the military service

and the nation we were sworn to guard.

We are proud of our own branches and units.
We did all we could to make our individual units the finest in the world.

We were loyal to those under whom we served.

We did our full part to carry out orders and instructions given us 

As soldiers, we realized that we were members of a time-honored profession.

That we were doing our share to keep alive the principles

 of freedom for which our country stands.

No matter what situation we were in,

We never did anything for pleasure, profit, or personal safety,

which would disgrace our country.

We pursued every means we had, even beyond the call of duty,

to restrain our comrades in arms from

actions disgraceful to themselves and the uniform they wore.

We were and are proud of our country and it's flag.

We tried to make the people of this nation

proud of what we represented,

for WE WERE - and always will be - American Soldiers.

Here is a request from one soldier to another
John Wolf TO Steve Lintl -- 
I found out about Johns search on You Tube 


If you know Steve Lintl please tell him to come here and read this page

If you ARE Steve go to 
THIS Link to see the You Tube Video 
meant for you 

Sgt. Steve Lintl was a Platoon sergeant 
when I arrived in Vietnam to join
 an infantry unit. Steve rarely broke a smile, or at least to me, 
he was all business. I am proud to have served with and under Sgt 
Steve Lintl; he was a leader, a brave soldier and someone everyone 
looked up to. I also thank him for saving my life. 

On about November of 1970 our squad (7 guys) was out on patrol and walked 
into booby trap. One of our guys must have either tripped a wire or it 
was manually detonated? Immediately after the booby trap went off the 
VC started dropping mortars shells or hand grenades in on us. The VC 
knew we were vulnerable due to shock from the explosion and knowing we 
would have wounded. We had two guys down with severe injuries and it 
appeared we might be surrounded. The two that were down, Vernon Zornes 
and Rob Runge, were very popular in the unit. As one of the new guys, 
I was assigned a position in the back of the pack behind Zornes. 
Zornes literally saved my life that day, his body protected me from 
the blast that went off in front of him. 

It was my first action; quite frankly I was unprepared for seeing anyone 
much less one of my buddies injured. We were also facing the 
possibility of being overrun by the enemy. We were in a difficult 
situation, tend to the wounded or defend ourselves? I was next to 
Zornes and he was hit pretty bad and did not appear to be breathing. 

Prior to going into the Army or going to Vietnam you wonder what would 
happen if you or your fellow soldiers were hit, what would you do? 
Would you run, try to hide, freeze up or start fighting back? I have 
to admit I was scared and did take a second to pause, if I treated him 
it would be the first time I had ever kissed a man. I immediately 
started giving Zornes artificial respiration. 

As I said we were getting hit by mortars or hand grenades, I think we all 
knew this could be the end for the entire group. At this point there 
were 5 of us left, 3 of us were tending to the injured, leaving on 2 
guys to repel the enemy. Then out of nowhere came the Calvary, it was 
just like the Western's I had seen many times before when I was a kid. 
Without regard for their lives a group of soldiers ran through a 
hedgerow near us, they were lead by Sgt. Lintl, Sgt. Kailua and 
Tom "Doc" Tierney. They had heard the explosions and ran to our 
rescue. I will never forget the relief I got when I saw them running 
towards us, I knew that we would be OK. 

Unfortunately, Zornes and Runge did not survive and joined the Vietnam 
Veterans wall that day. We did our best to try and save them. In doing 
so I found out that under extreme duress I could show courage and 
clear thinking. It's what some men worry about, some get the chance 
and some don't. Some think their tough until they get into the same 
situation and wilt. All the men I served with on that day learned what 
they are made of, they answered the call and served with distinction.


John Wolf






If you are related to Steve or know him, please give him my best and tell 
him to drop me a line sometime. I imagine this story is unknown to 
most of Steve's family or friends. My guess he is kinda quiet about 
his heroics. From Wolfie

Scott Serres's photo.


R E S P E C T


You're a 19 year old kid. You are critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the
 Central Highlands of Viet Nam . It's November 11, 1967. LZ (landin...g 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 guns 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 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 Air Force, 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, We’ve heard plenty about murders, Health 
Care, Border security etc. BUT NOTHING ABOUT THE PASSING OF Medal of Honor Winner 
Captain Ed Freeman. Shame on the media !!! Now... YOU pass this along. Honor this real 

Hero. Please

Please see my page 
To Find Missing & Abducted Women & Children
************
Here is a very important cause
 N.A.S.A. and our military should adapt and use its drone 
and satellite surveillance technology to 
Help Find Missing and Abducted women and children 
Solve other crimes and Protect Our Borders
  
Read more about the effort HERE
 
Here is a link to a case 
which I have taken particular interest in 
Mainly because Joanie Hall needs to be found 
and because they help me with my Effort to Adapt the existing satellite picture 
and drone surveillance technology to Find the Missing
