Two Delta Operators posthumously received the United States Medal of Honor for making the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the life of pilot Michael Durant. Their sacrifice was not in vain. Michael Durant survived the ordeal, and was released after 11 days in captivity.

Exactly how many Somalis were killed in the battle, no one can say for sure. But estimates have ranged anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000.

All gave some, some gave all.
