Don Engebretsen's candid photographs follow the October 2017 Medal of Honor weekend for Captain Gary "Mike" Rose, from the White House colonnade and a packed East Room to the Pentagon Hall of Heroes ceremony, a reception banquet, the Special Forces Charitable Trust gala, and green berets riding a tour bus together. Behind the formal events are hotel corridors and hallway reunions of veterans and families, marking recognition that came 47 years after Rose's heroism as a Special Forces medic in the classified 1970 Operation Tailwind raid into Laos.
