Veterans of Army Special Forces and the covert MACV-SOG program gather for a formal group portrait at a Special Forces Charitable Trust reception held October 23, 2017, honoring Captain Gary 'Mike' Rose, awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the secret Operation Tailwind incursion into Laos in 1970. Reunions such as this one preserve the bonds between the ground teams and the aircrews, including A-1 Skyraider pilots, who supported these clandestine cross-border missions. Project: 219447
