Paper records from the Gene McCarley Collection, including a handwritten contact list that hints at the quiet correspondence among veterans, families, and researchers who pieced Operation Tailwind's history back together. At its center is Ted Turner's July 1998 letter of apology to Colonel McCarley for CNN's retracted "Valley of Death" report, a document that marks the veterans' long fight to see their 1970 raid into Laos recorded honestly.
