Pilot Col Bruce Crandall at LZ X-Ray: 22 missions into enemy fire

Among the most celebrated veterans of the Vietnam War, retired U.S. Army Colonel Bruce Crandall is best known for his actions of November 14, 1965, when he flew 22 missions in an unarmed helicopter into enemy fire to evacuate more than 70 wounded and bring ammunition and supplies to United States forces under the command of then-Colonel Hal Moore. Crandall’s actions at LZ X-Ray – chronicled in the bestselling memoir from Moore and Joseph Galloway, ‘We Were Soldiers Once…and Young’ and the subsequent movie featuring Greg Kinnear as Crandall – were fully recognized when he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2007. Colonel Crandall is a veteran of more than 900 combat missions.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A new fundraiser, created by the Metro Historical Commission Foundation and The District, hopes to raise money to help preserve Second Avenue's history as it is rebuilt.
The fundraiser was launched earlier this month to help restore the 150-year-old buildings that were badly damaged during the Christmas Day bombing.
"There are a number of funds out there to help people, we decided that we really needed to focus on the buildings," Ann Roberts said. Roberts is a preservationist and also the former longtime director of the Metro Historical Commission. Several of the commission's current members credit her with saving Second Avenue from development in the 1980s.
