Special Operations Association Reunion, Las Vegas, 2013. Two attendees at a vendor's display of laser-etched crystal presentation pieces, lit from within by their acrylic bases. Commemorative crystal, engraved plaques and custom awards are a fixture of the reunion's vendor hall, where members order pieces marking units, reconnaissance teams and individual service. The association's shield — a skull in a green beret — hangs on the wall behind. Project: 219861
