SOAR XXXVII, Las Vegas, 2013. Three attendees, among them Robert Shippen (right, identified by his event badge and wearing embroidered parachutist wings), examine a spread of loose photographic prints laid out on a table at the thirty-seventh Special Operations Association Reunion. Bringing personal photographs for collective identification was a standard practice at these gatherings: with much of the documentary record of MACV-SOG's cross-border operations classified or destroyed, veterans' own snapshots often supplied the only surviving evidence of particular missions and faces.
