On September 11, 1970, 22 and 15 U.S. Army "Green Berets" flew from Vietnam to Laos. The 120 Vietnamese shows, known as Montagnah, are carrying out a secret mission of bringing hundreds of North Vietnamese army soldiers who attacked the CIA-controlled Laos airport were taken away.
Due to the particularity of the mission, the operation is called "Tailwind Operation" and the details of the operation have been held for ten years as the actions of the U.S. military and the Central Intelligence Agency in the neutral Lao PDR are clandestine.
Four days later, every American was wounded, and Rose said they did not know the details of the operation before they did, but they had to face the battle, carrying large quantities of ammunition, machine guns and grenades. Rose also brought a lot of medical supplies.
They logged in to Laos and fought the enemy, who rushed into the gunfire of the enemy and rescued the warriors. For the next four days, Rose continually rescued the soldiers who were wounded in the battle and was dragged into this Of course, Rose himself was seriously injured, but Rose has always insisted on providing medical services to his teammates, doing his best to rescue more warriors.
The 71-year-old retired Army Captain Michael Rose got the Honor Medal Monday for his heroism as a warrior in a distressing secret mission in 1970.
Rose saved 60 wounded people during a four-day fierce battle, including evacuating the wounded who were shot down by his enemies on a helicopter.
Rose told a Pentagon press conference on Friday: "My job is to look after the wounded." You do not care about your own injuries or death. "
At the end of the mission, Rose was recommended to become a Medal of Honor, and was awarded the second Crosstalk Service Cross in the country in 1971, but she may be downgraded in order to keep the United States' mission in Laos secret.
Rose is now 71, and now he is retired Army captain Mike Rose, who won the honor Medal Monday
Rose told a news conference at the Pentagon last Friday that his job is to focus on the people in his hands and not to focus on his own injuries or death. Until last year, his wife had never really heard him talk about his mission of honoring Medal of Honor
Like other honorary medals, it passed specific legislation in Parliament, giving up the incentive to claim medals only five years after heroic action.
Even though Ross's medal of Merit would be downgraded, but Rose's heroic deeds existed in our hearts, saving the lives of 60 wounded people in four days of intense fighting, including the evacuation of the wounded who were shot down by his enemies from his helicopter. Rose as a warrior, in battle demonstrated his heroism as a soldier.
