GySgt. Dale L. Baird captured "Highland Safe," an image showing a reconnaissance team being extracted via helicopter in October 1970. As the helicopter lifts them above the cloud-shrouded Queson Mountains, they are en route to a secure landing zone. This photograph is a Defense Department image taken during the Vietnam War.
