Bruce P. Crandall will be presented the Medal of Honor by President Bush on Feb. 26 in recognition of his valor at Landing Zone X-Ray during the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang in Vietnam, according to an Army press release.
Crandall will be honored for repeatedly flying to a landing zone under intense enemy fire to rescue and re-supply 1st Cavalry Division ground soldiers, the release said. Even after the landing zone closed, Crandall, then a major, led two aircraft into the area on medical evacuation and re-supply missions, transporting more than 70 wounded soldiers to safety.
The Army will honor Crandall at a Pentagon ceremony Feb. 27 at 2 p.m. at the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes.
