Retired U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Gary 'Mike' Rose, awarded the Medal of Honor in 2017 for his heroism during the classified MACV-SOG Operation Tailwind incursion into Laos in 1970, poses with family and supporters at a Special Forces Charitable Trust reception. Rose's decoration, presented 47 years after the operation, brought long-overdue recognition to the covert cross-border missions carried out by SOG teams and the Air Commando aircrews who supported them.
