SOAR XXXVII, Las Vegas, 2013. Two attendees stand on the vendor floor of the thirty-seventh Special Operations Association Reunion. The bearded man at right, identified by his event badge as Robert Shippen, wears embroidered US Army parachutist wings on his shirt and a Special Forces belt buckle. Behind them, dealer cases labeled 'Lapel Pins', 'Velcro Patches' and 'Heat On Patches' offered the unit insignia that let veterans reassemble the visual record of service in units - notably MACV-SOG - whose emblems were unofficial or classified at the time.
