Fellow veterans and supporters gather to honor Captain Gary "Mike" Rose at a Special Forces Charitable Trust reception on October 23, 2017, the day he received the Medal of Honor for his actions as a Green Beret medic during Operation Tailwind in Laos, September 1970. The commemorative painting displayed by the group memorializes the mission and the men who carried it out, a moment of long-overdue recognition for one of the Vietnam War's most extraordinary covert operations.
