Ltc Crandall would be the first to tell you that since this battle was in the early stages of the war the VC did not realize the value of the heli. Later on, Charlie started to realize that with the helis came the troops and logistics. Taking NOTHING away from Crandall, he deserves every medal he ever received!
Snake Sh*t was his call sign, because he flew lower than Snake Sh*t. See the movie "We Were Soldiers" and his story about the Ia Drang Valley, and all of the men of the 7TH Cav.
Crandall, Freeman, Novasel, Brady... The list goes on. We love you guys, true American heroes. Thank you for your service and WELCOME HOME! From the son of a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot. May God bless you and may God bless our Nation.
