He told me how he had been wounded during the battle and put into a helicopter flown by Bruce Crandall (who received the MOH a few years ago for his part in the Ia Drang battle). It was a hot LZ with bullets flying. He said that as he was put in the helicopter, he could see a downed helicopter and feared the same would happen to him, but as they lifted off he watched the tree line, the mountains, and finally clear blue sky. He said that Bruce Crandall turned and gave him a "thumbs up" sign and a big smile – something that he would never forget.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.com
