Quote:
Col. Bruce Crandall, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions as a Vietnam helicopter pilot during the Battle of Ia Drang, died Sunday, according to a news release from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.
Crandall, a retired Army colonel and Arizona resident, was 93. A cause of death was not released.
In November 1965, then Maj. Crandall and then-Capt. Ed Freeman volunteered to fly their UH-1 Hueys into the heart of combat in the la Drang valley after military commanders deemed the area too dangerous for aircraft.
