Bin Laden News

Like many American moms and dads, I called my children [Bullen, Andrew and Kennedy] to hurry to the family room as breaking news hit the television.  We all rushed to watch the big screen as we heard the news that Osama Bin Laden was killed and in US custody.  We were switching channels to watch the best coverage of ensuing history.
As we sat in front of the television – thoughts raced .....  Was he really dead? Would we see his body? What would the President say?  More than 5,000 American families have paid the ultimate sacrifice since Osama bin Laden “masterminded” the 9/11 attacks, with more than 40,000 suffering wounds. 

We stayed up just long enough to hear the President’s speech before reconciling the excitement with the sad reality that we all had to get up the next morning for school and work.
