Retired Captain Gary M. Rose is honored during his induction into the Army's Hall of Heroes at the Pentagon on October 24, 2017, one day after receiving the Medal of Honor from the President for his extraordinary heroism as an Army medic during the top-secret Operation Tailwind in Laos in September 1970. The ceremony backdrop displays the Army, Navy, and Air Force versions of the Medal of Honor beneath the words of the citation standard: "awarded... for action above and beyond the call of duty."
