What happened to the surviving rebels that traveled on the boat that Fidel Castro sent off to Cuba to start the revolution?

Did those surviving rebels receive high positions in government? Were they compensated as nobles? Or did they just gain high ranking positions in the military? Also, any info on the rebels that were recruited once in Cuba, what was their fate?

The twelve survivors were "the Castro brothers, Che Guevara (wounded and bleeding), Camilo Cienfuegos, Juan Almeida, Efigenio Amejeiras, Ciro Redondo, Julio Díaz, Calixto García, Luis Crespo, Jose Ponce and Universo Sanchez."

Some of these I got from Wiki, others I provide the source:

EDIT: So to sum up, the ones who survived became very, very influential people in Cuban politics, for the most part
