A CH-53 helicopter sits in a jungle clearing as a reconnaissance team races through tall grass toward it during an extraction under fire. This photograph documents a moment from Operation Tailwind, the September 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos, during which a Marine helicopter crew flew repeated extraction attempts under intense enemy fire to bring the team home — an action that later contributed to a Medal of Honor recognition for the mission's medic, Gary Michael Rose.
