Mike Rose was approved for the MoH
FYI
All approvals, including time waivers signed by Congress, have been signed, sealed and delivered.
Just waiting on WH to call Mike to receive MoH.
Mike is standing by to stand by.
Mike earned the nomination from Operation Tailwind at CCC Sept. '70.

Long past due and most certainly deserved. Let's hope our government finally recognizes all the men who served in these covert operations.

Just read the article and wow, what an absolutely amazing SF Soldier.
Long overdue recognition indeed.
Thanks for sharing this PRB.

That is great news. The article also did a great job driving home the point that "the system" suppressed recognition for deeds of these men.
Also a good reminder that CNN was in the "fake news" business before the term fake news even existed. Hope they get some recognition too.

Outfreakin'standing! Well deserved for something that definitely fits the "it was all super secret and we can't talk about it."
Congrats Mike you earned this!
Yeah CNN "Fake News Site" go pound sand!

I joined the military, Rangers, and eventually SF to be like this man. I thank God everyday that I never was in it as deep as he was. I could only aspire to be like this man and so many others like him. Praise the Lord for unanswered prayers, and for working through men such as Mike Rose.

Well done, brother.
About time.
