Vietnam-era Special Forces veterans and guests gather at a reception honoring Gary Michael Rose, who received the Medal of Honor on October 23, 2017, for valor as a Special Forces medic during the 1970 MACV-SOG Operation Tailwind incursion into Laos. Members of the Special Forces Association, identifiable by their green blazers and unit insignia, joined family and fellow veterans to celebrate the long-overdue recognition of Rose's actions decades earlier.
