Cindy, the President should be out momentarily to give details.
I feel really reflective about the whole thing. I think about the number of soldiers who have died in the war on terror and don't know if I feel triumphant or just very, very sad.
Please keep us updated! I don't have cable to see :(

I agree. His judgement is coming, but regardless someone died. lots of people did.
Im worried about the retaliation that could happen. We just got note that the security on our base was raised. Im sure it will be on others too. But it is a very happy night
May 1st Prayer...Now I lay me down to sleep...one less terrorist this world does keep...with all my heart I give my thanks...to those in uniform regardless of ranks...you serve our country and serve it well...with humble hearts your stories tell...so as I rest my weary eyes...while freedom rings our flag still flies...you give your all, do what you must...with God we live and God we trust....Amen!
I'm very happy to hear that this ruthless man was finally found. But I too have mixed emotions. It brings back the anger and hurt I felt on that day and the many days that followed. And it makes me think about all of our brave brothers and sisters lost at war, and those that were suddenly taken on September 11, 2001 because of him and his followers actions.
I just now found out about this and honestly, I just had to see for myself. I know I'm not the only one Googeling trying to find some photographic proof. I found this....
I am glad that he is dead... he was a ruthless man... what he did was just awful.... I honestly would have been happy if he had been captured also, but I am fine with this... it does bring back the memories of 9/11 and as I sit here I am tearful thinking of what all has happened since that awful day..
if i see one more post on fb saying to bring the troops home or yay maybe they will come home. THE JOB ISNT DONE. Just cuz 1 guy is dead doesnt mean its over. There will be many more to follow him. The main concern needs to be prayers and thoughts with the troops and their families that there is no big retaliation.
via tmz.com--->The White House has NOT released an official death photo of the corpse ... yet.
An official has told CNN ... REAL photographs of Osama's body exist ... which show a gunshot wound to the side of his head. The official says due to the wounds, bin Laden's face is "unrecognizable."

i get it they are trying to be hopeful i read one status that said "osama is dead and now all soldiers will be home within 90 days" im not getting my hopes up like that!!! cnn is already talking about the next head leader of al quieda, im not going to try to spell his name though!!lol
They killed the Mascot...there are people waiting inline to take the place as leader. Pakistan Taliban have already threatened us..Its not over...we are going to be there 90 days from now...120 days from now... 365 days from now. This is a war on terrorism...terrorism never ends...and neither will this war.
Ditto with Kandice, this is only going to cause retaliation..giving them more of a reason to strike...hence the raised security. Also as she stated this war is long from over. Still lots of work to be done.
I wonder now if he would of been more an asset taken alive then killed. Justice served and I jump for joy that at least we have one less terrorist leader in the world but retaliation is a huge fear, then again, it may be one of those things with the fearless leader gone al Qaeda falls apart from the inside.
With that said of course my ID got lost at the concert Saturday so I had to go file a lost report this morning and waiting for DEERs to call back so I can get an appointment for a new one. I do have my DL but talk about bad timing.
