This award was awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Bruce P.Crandall retired U.S. Army, a bit late in my opinion almost 42 years ago.
Is somebody trying to make their selves look good here and I don’t mean Colonel Crandall either.
George and his administration again I shouldn’t wonder he awards him the highest Honor (I shall spell it the American way for this) the country can award; the Colonel obviously earned this award so come clean George why has

his bravery gone unnoticed all these years.
I have a theory as to why but I’m afraid you and your henchmen have left the Republican run for your position rather late now.
The Medal of Honor is the U.S Military’s highest decoration for the benefit of non Americans who may read this.
It was first awarded in the American civil war the citation reads as follows.
“For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty, in actual combat against an armed enemy force”
It has now been awarded 3,461 times since then, prior to this it was last awarded to a USMC Corporal Jason L.Dunham sadly posthumously.

(2) Over the years as the Medal has become a historic symbol of the bravest of the brave, in respect to all who have earned it, little has been done to change its design.
