You're a 19 year old kid.
You are critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .

Its November 14, 1965 . LZ (landing 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 Army, died at the age of 81, in Boise, Idaho.

God bless our vets!

Robin Williams brought an entire stadium to tears with a tribute to the American flag.

Try and name one Hollywood star who’d do this today.

RIP Legend. 🇺🇸

@TulsiGabbard Amazing message. I am still stunned that a soldier and American Patriot can be so easily targeted. We need you as our next SecDef to break the hold of the MIC. Keep fighting the good fight Tulsi.

As a person whose body was born in Ohio and whose soul was born in Texas and who is a true blue American this is alarming. In any other country of the world this would be called an invasion. Thanks @elonmusk for showing America what is really happening.

Went to the Eagle Pass border crossing to see what’s really going on

@RNCResearch I call bologna on this statement. My gas heating bill was triple last month.

Interesting debate on the conviction of the former Uber CISO.

[Chet Dorn, Parody Global CISO @chetdorn]

I like the sound of this “can’t be enough $$ to sign” part.

[Russell Murrell @RussellMurrell]

@philvenables @philvenables that’s a great phrase. I mentor my team members to “provide more value than their salary”. I also strive daily to provide more value.

Not sure what to make of this message that popped up on my Ring app. Didn’t realize the CDC were experts in flood response. Some of the information on the link makes sense from a CDC perspective such food and mold safety but electric safety? Joke time @hodgetwins 😂

@CynjaChaseC @CynjaChaseC I feel bad you have to suffer through RSA. That conference stopped being a security conference back in 2015 and is just an expo now.

[Russell Murrell @RussellMurrell]

@philvenables Great response @philvenables do you mind if I borrow it 😉

[Russell Murrell @RussellMurrell]

@philvenables @philvenables I found 7. Very hard puzzle.

Great write up from @TheRealSpaf on a great workshop in 2000 with Spaf, me, Howard Schmidt, Whit Diffie, Dan Geer, Becky Bace, Fred Piper + more. Predictions were on point (sadly). As Spaf points out we were accused of being overly pessimistic.

@philvenables @TheRealSpaf @philvenables These predictions are spot in for today. Great job to the whole panel!

@CynjaChaseC @MerrittBaer @CynjaChaseC yoy should try “duck it” for a while

#mazda My son just hit 200k miles on his 2002 Mazda Protege 5. Thank you for the amazing engineering.

Very insightful Zerotrust survey results from @CynjaChaseC. If you are planning to implement ZT this is a must listen.

[chase cunningham @CynjaChaseC]

I conducted a #survey on #zerotrust back in July and got about 1300 responses. It took a while to cobble together the results and conduct that analysis but we have it wrapped up now. Check out the survey below or go to YouTube an…https://t.co/m35Znt8ZLy https://t.co/OvzOHG4dBH
