Retired Army Captain Gary Michael 'Mike' Rose addresses fellow veterans at a reception on October 23, 2017, the day he received the Medal of Honor for his actions as a Special Forces medic during Operation Tailwind, a 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos. Surrounded by comrades from the Vietnam War's secret war along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, Rose's long-overdue recognition brought together decades of shared sacrifice and camaraderie among SOG veterans.
