Eighty-six men died, and six disappeared out of the 490 at the battle. After the battles, the remainder of the unit returned to the United States on August 15, taking residence at Camp Wikoff, New York. A month later, the U.S. disbanded the unit after one hundred and thirty three days. While the unit became obsolete, Roosevelt and the men who fought never left the minds of people throughout the country, rather, they became a staple and icon of courage and perseverance in American history. Roosevelt desperately deserved a Medal of Honor for his bravery during the battle, but he did not receive it until after his death in 2001, one hundred and three years later from President Bill
