Deleted to fix stupid spelling mistakes.

I had the honor of having Bruce Crandall, the pilot that was awarded the MOH and was the helo pilot Snakeshit, over to my house. He said the movie is pretty close to the truth with some hollywood stuff thrown in. He never mentioned that Col. Moore wanted out, though as most MOH recipients he doesn't speak much about the day he received the medal for.
I've meet 17 MOH recipients and not one ever came off has having performed some great feat. They all feel, everyone of them, that they hold the medal for all the service members that they served with.
I know there is discussion about whether the latest recipient was truly deserving, lets not start second guessing everyone based upon rumor or people with an agenda.

I like the delete function.
