Bruce "Snake" Crandall, who repeatedly flew through a hail of enemy fire, will finally receive the award he earned 41 years earlier in Viet Nam's Ia Drang Valley.
Crandall's heroism was displayed in the movie "We Were Soldiers", based on Col Hal Moore's book "We Were Soldiers Once ... And Young.", which tells the actual story of Ia Drang in 1965.
