#17 - My Meeting With A Real Warrior: Medal of Honor Recipient Lt. Col. Bruce P. Crandell (1 of 4)
2018-11-15
On a recent flight from Seattle to Dallas, I had the honor of sitting next to Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Bruce P. Crandell. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions as a pilot during the Battle of Ia Drang on November 14, 1965 in South Vietnam. During the battle, he flew 22 missions in an unarmed helicopter into enemy fire to evacuate more than 70 wounded and bring ammunition and supplies to US forces. This event was later documented in the movie "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson in 2002. Crandell was portrayed by actor Greg Kinnear in the film.
Over the next 3.5 hours I got to hear his stories first hand about life, heroism and leadership. I am sharing my insights with you in this 4 part series entitled "Interview with a Real Warrior."
