===Medal of Honor=== [[File:Gary Gordon Medal of Honor (DA-SC-02-06243).jpg|thumb|President Clinton presents the Medal of Honor to Carmen, the widow of Master Sergeant Gary I. Gordon.]] On May 23, 1994, both Gordon and Shughart posthumously received the Medal of Honor in recognition for the actions they took and the sacrifices they made to help protect the lives of the crew of Super Six Four. They were the only soldiers participating in Operation Gothic Serpent to receive the military's highest honor, and the first Medal of Honor recipients since the [[Vietnam War]].<ref name="AMOHW">{{Cite web |date=August 3, 2009 |title=Medal of Honor recipients |url=http://www.history.army.mil/html/moh/Somalia.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121222074108/http://www.history.army.mil/html/moh/somalia.html |archive-date=December 22, 2012 |access-date=January 6, 2010 |publisher=[[United States Army Center of Military History]]}}</ref> Their medals were presented to their widows Stephanie Shughart and Carmen Gordon by [[Bill Clinton]] in a ceremony at the White House.<ref name=ceremony/>
