The Snake is 80

February 17th, 2013

A MOH recipient is still with us.

Thanks Hondo for reminding me. I honesty figured the MOH was enough but I was way wrong.

Was the same air crew with him the whole time? Were they awarded if so what medal or medals. In my squadron the crew chief stayed with his helo, we would change everybody but the c/c.Does the Army assign their C?C to a helo or a set of pilots?

His wingman, “Too Tall” was awarded the Medal a couple years before him. The rest of his crew, I’m not sure what they got but not the Medal.

I thought you were talking about Kenny Stabler. He’s only 67 BTW.

Had the privilege of meeting Col Crandall, our post hosted a dinner in his honor after he received the MOH.
