The men spent more than 14 hours evacuating wounded soldiers and resupplying the fighting force with ammunition and rations. Army officials credited them with saving more than 70 soldiers through their actions.In addition to the new medal, Crandall already holds the Distinguished Service Cross, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and 24 other air medals.
Crandall retired from the Army in 1977 as a lieutenant colonel. Shouldn't Crandall have been promoted higher then Lt. Col?
