Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that the US Army 'has upgraded 60 medals for special operators involved in Operation Gothic Serpent — 58 are being upgraded to Silver Stars and two are being upgraded to the Distinguished Flying Cross. Gothic Serpent culminated in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu and cost the lives 19 U.S. service members, with dozens more wounded."
Kudos to all involved - ARSOC is not releasing any names or information - understandably

I know that in that operation we lost some great warriors. A personal note lost some Ranger buddies in this theater. Glad to see our warriors get the recognition they deserve..Rangers lead the way. God bless my fellow warriors
