Did Bruce Crandall actually serve in the Korean War? In the side bar it indicates that he did but from the actual biography that would seem improbable if he were drafted in 1953, the war ended in June of that year so that leaves little time to go through training and be deployed to the war. His medals also do not include a medal for service in the Korean War.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddeclue ( talk • contribs) 04:50, 26 March 2009
It says while he was in Collage in 1951 to 1952 he was drafted into the Korean war. So he is a Korean war Veteran. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.104.90.120 ( talk) 18:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
The 40+ year delay in receiving the Medal of Honor after the action for which it was awarded was presumably due to the same reason as with Ed Freeman:
A similar note (if this is the case) should be included in this article. 58.147.58.152 ( talk) 01:20, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Retired Lt. Col. Bruce Crandall was promoted April 15, 2010 to the rank of colonel in a ceremony at the AAAA convention in Fort Worth, Texas. According to CW4 (Ret.) Joseph L. Pisano Sr., editor of the Army Aviation Magazine, the Army did this to correct a 40 year administrative mistake.

Col Crandall, as a vet. myself with the 649th MP Co. out of Camp San Luis Obispo,CA we did a mission to Hunter Ligget in California just50 miles North of. What I didn't know at that time was the area in question was the filming sight of the movie "We Were Soldiers" I have it on DVD and watch it often. Si, I'm saddened to hear about "Too Tall" My hea rest in peace! "Snake Shit" I salute you sir. You saved my life in a way you'll never know. Sir, I was just coming out of High School when your battle was going on. You went in my stay. I was number 1 on the selective service board,my brother was #2 we were never called up, and for you to be there, I thank you for that I and my brother didn't have to go.

While the article talks about his promotion to Colonel (ret), it doesn't talk about his rank advancement during active duty and it seems like it should be there. Toddst1 ( talk) 16:46, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
