Fellow Special Forces veterans gather to honor Gary 'Mike' Rose, seen here at right wearing the Medal of Honor, at a Special Forces Charitable Trust reception following his 2017 award ceremony. Rose received the nation's highest military honor for his extraordinary heroism during the classified MACV-SOG Operation Tailwind incursion into Laos in 1970, an action untold for decades due to the mission's secrecy.
