Bruce Crandall finally received what I think was long over due! If you saw
the movie "We Were Soldiers", he was the pilot that repeatedly flew back
into the hot LZ to bring in supplies and more importantly flew out wounded.
This was one well deserved medal.

Congrats Bruce



I just saw this on the news and it was indeed long overdue. I saw the
movie and was so intrigued that I bought the book. Both were just
outstanding and helped me better understand why many returning from
Vietnam were so changed. That man must absolutely have ice water in his
veins.
