BLACK HAWK DOWN: GARY GORDON AND RANDY SHUGHART #shorts

Sergeants Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart were operators in the U.S. Army Delta Force, and gave their lives during the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia on October 3, 1993. Their acts of heroism and bravery, were portrayed in the classic movie, "Black Hawk Down".

They were part of a joint mission to fight the Somali warlord, Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

When the second Black Hawk helicopter, piloted by Officer Michael Durant, was shot down, Sergeants Gordon and Shughart, ignoring certain death, went down to help the crew on the ground.

They fought bravely against the attacks of a mob of armed rebels. During the intense firefight, Sergeant Gordon was the first to drop dead, shot in the head. But Sergeant Shughart continued to fight, until he too was killed.

They are the first servicemen to posthumously receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, since the end of the Vietnam War.

Their families received the honor from President Bill Clinton on May 23, 1994.

Legendary warriors who gave everything to save brothers in trouble. Nothing but love respect and honor for you both.

[rockyrocamontes]

They displayed a high level of badassery. I've got mad respect for these two warriors. Their courage and sacrifice will live on for ever.

Thanks 19th Malay Regiment who come to rescue our hero❤

[rickschoenung]

They earned it these men are True Heroes

[vyhkwxw]

This is what soldiers do for one another it’s not about flag or country it’s about giving there own lives for another person regardless who it is that’s bravery and courage a self sacrifice for another human being

[stonedstoker]

No love is greater than the love of your fellow brothers in arms respect for this brave men

[Ras]

The media likes to call average people hero's when they do something special, these 2 warriors are true hero's !

[carloscardona]

I don’t think most Americans even comprehend just exactly what these two did and more so the fact that from their “safe” initial vantage point they knew that a rescue force would definitely not be imminent and that they were absolutely asking to be put in knowing full well that they would die!!! Yet these two did so willingly and enthusiastically bc they could not sit by idly without even trying to do something. The level courage, bravery, determination and absolute balls to do this CANNOT and SHOULD NOT ever be overlooked. Many men have acted heroically in the heat of the battle and in the heat of the moment bc they weren’t given time to think about the consequences and so many that have done true acts of heroism and survived almost to a man say that they didn’t realize exactly what they were doing and what the risks were. These two had an eagles view of what was unfolding and they pleaded to be put in if only to hope for a miracle that they knew would not be coming anytime soon. The pilot…Michael Durant owes everything to them!!!! I salute them always and think of them with the highest regard I could ever have for another human

[Big-dia]

I'm from Mogadishu and I was there that day I've seen lots shit they don't show on the movie . Respect to those rangers

[Nitestalker]

American courage never ceases to amaze me. So proud to be American 🇺🇲

[GH-tpvu]

Tremendous SF operators who deserved the medal of honor and displayed exactly what SF men are about.

[GeorgeWalkowski-ns]

Men of steel, grit and determination ! True Hero's, !

[ck-]

True modern day Spartans who laid it all on line. Respect

[gretschbasher]

This is the ultimate kind of selflessness we as Americans need to celebrate

[JaguarPriest]

It was said they took some 300 of them with them. Imagine that. 2 men vs a thousand and they managed to get 300 of them. These guys were the best of the best. Legendary warriors.

[gamertaglupethegod]

To know that you won't come back and still go anyway. Hard AF.

[nickysonlife]

I think what's crazy is one of them went down. Practically facing certain death, the second operator decided to fight until he couldn't. Both of those men were absolute units of warriors

[MermaidMusings]

*Book recommendations : Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden & In The Company of Heroes by Michael Durant.*

[tinynuggins]

I read the book Black hawk down some 25 years ago in high school. Over those 25 years i've forgotten many things, names, birthdays, car keys, etc. Somehow the names of these two men..no, heros has stuck with me. I'm not sure why but for some reason that information has just stuck with me...actually I'm wrong, I do know why. I just can't put it into words. Something about their bravery and sacrifice stirred something deep within me and really struck a cord with me. Here I am trying to pat myself on the back for remembering their names when really their names and deeds are something all Americans should know and remember. We owe them and all service men and women a profound thank you.
