Attendees Consulting Printed Roster Sheets at a Registration Table, SOAR XXXVII, Las Vegas, 2013

Reunion administration, SOAR XXXVII, Las Vegas, 2013. Two attendees examine printed reference sheets at a working table beneath the reunion banner. Sheets of this kind — rosters, unit lists and code-name concordances — are a fixture of Special Operations Association reunions, allowing veterans to match wartime radio call signs and reconnaissance team names to the men who carried them, and to trace teammates last seen four decades earlier. Both men wear the black-lanyard badges issued to registered attendees. Project: 219861
