President Barack Obama on Friday was briefed by members of the team that killed Osama bin Laden, and afterward thanked and awarded them the Presidential Unit Citation, the White House said.The award "is the highest such honor that can be given to a unit," the White House said in a statement, and was "in recognition of their extraordinary service and achievement."The Navy SEAL who shot bin Laden was among those present, but he was never singled out or identified, a U.S. official told NBC News. Other sources say that is common practice among SEALs who focus on the team, not individuals.The president and Vice President Joe Biden visited with team members at Fort Campbell, home to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.
I think those six navy SEALs deserved the award for many of reasons. They took down the most wanted man in United States history. Plus he also is one of the most dangerous man in the world, so they had to make sure everything was perfect. After months of planning and searching they got the most wanted many and deserve there awards.
