What was the Spiritual Life Path of Ed W. "Too Tall" Freeman, here being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Bush.One of my specialties is the Spiritual Life Purpose Report.
Freeman was born November 20, 1927 in Neely, Mississippi (see natal chart above)
Brief history - perhaps you're getting the email that's again going around:
Ed W. "Too Tall" Freeman, [Captain, U.S. Army Company A, 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) received the Medal of Honor] for his actions in the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965. As a helicopter pilot, he flew through gunfire more than 20 times during a single, ferocious battle [as a volunteer], bringing supplies to a trapped battalion of United States soldiers and flying more than 70 wounded soldiers to safety. Freeman flew wingman for Major Bruce Crandall who also received the Medal of Honor for the same missions. He is also honored in the film We Were Soldiers and is played by Mark McCracken. Note: Crandall wrote that Freeman was 6'7".
Notes on Spiritual Life Purpose: The essence of it - to overcome past lifetimes as a Wild Man, or Free Spirit; to learn to fit in with and preserve the society he disdained in former lifetimes. How about helping his sdociety in such a dramatic way that he is awarded the Medal of Honor.
- Considered an exalted and poweful placement
- Victory after much anxiety and trouble (one example - he wanted to be a helicopter pilot but was "too tall" - 6'7". That's how he got the military nickname "Too Tall." Later the height restrictions were changed and he got to do what he always wanted to do - after much trouble.
- Has the sort of luck that comes when everything seems lost. He was the first, or only 2, to volunteer to go on this mission
- Brash moves, brazen courage
- Impulsive, not hampered by desires for perfection
- a Wild Soul, a Free Spirit who wikll need to learn to be aware that others have a viewpoint - how about saving their lives?
- Optimistic about outcomes
- Has an excessive life - how about the first of only 2 to volunteer for this. And his moniker after all includes "too"
- Will avoid restrictions and wants to live by his own rules. Hates routine. Likes danger.
- Actions speak louder than words - always wants activity
- Nervous energy … not fond of responsibility (the extended sort); eternally restless
- Just wants to get it over with, get it out of the way; "Yeah, but I gotta go!"
- Like a bull in a china shop, a shouter in a library
- To learn to preserve the society he disdained in former lifetimes, the society necessary for his very survival (so he lived to be honored by the society of which he was a part - by the Medal of Honor)
- Wild stallion fighting being tamed (after he retired from the military, one of the things he did was round up wild horses by helicopter)
- Needs circumstances that force him to be part of society, be with others (the military)
- One astrologer wrote, "Lives his life on the rim of the wheel, occasionally darting into the center of the hub only to run back out again." Isn't this the definition of medevac pilot?
- Suggested remedies: An Air Force career is recommended
- Search for meaning and purpose and clear life direction important - once he got into his beloved helicopters, he remained there for this entire work life
From We Were Soldiers:
Scottish accent lyrics:
"Lay me doon
In the caul, caul groon
Whau afore
Monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon
In the caul, caul groon
Whau afore
Monie mair huv gaun
When they come
A will staun ma groon
Staun ma groon
Al nae be afraid..."
English translation lyrics:
"Lay me down
in the cold cold ground
Where before
many more have gone
Lay me down
in the cold cold ground
Where before
many more have gone
When they come
I will stand my ground
Stand my ground
I'll not be afraid"
Thank you Ed "Too Tall" Freeman for your service to your country. R. I. P.
