Former President Barack Obama thanked Adm. William McRaven, the Navy SEAL who oversaw the bin Laden raid, with the gift of a tape measure, according to Obama's new book, "A Promised Land."
The gift was an inside joke from the mission and perhaps the first light-hearted moment in a very tense period for everyone involved.
McRaven also wrote a little about the situation in his book "Sea Stories," which was published in 2019.
