Osama Bin Laden
 

I just heard that we finally got the SOB. I haven't gotten any details yet but I hope this can bring some peace to the world!!

Yes, he is dead. Awaiting words from our President.

Yep, heard the great news. Waiting to hear more... :thumbup:

I heard it and read he was killed a week ago. Officials were waiting on DNA confirmation before releasing the info. I'm surprised he's lasted this long. Healthwise and otherwise. Waiting on the President.

There is bound to be retaliation.

It is almost like hearing Hitler was dead. I was just a little girl but I remember hearing it with relief.

It's a great day for our country!

God Bless America and the armed forces that serves our great country.

I am just hoping that his death leads to the end of our concerns with this faction, but I fear that someone else will just step into his shoes and on and on. Let's all hope for the best.

Time to Give Thanks
 

As we all welcome the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden and Americans congratulate our Country and especially our Military, I thought it would be a good time to consider all of us giving back a bit to those that made this event possible.

Special Operations Units of the Military (Delta, Seals, Green Beret, Air Force and Marine Special Forces) have made this day possible. Although many times they are forced to operate in the shadows and avoid taking credit for their actions.

I ask that you take a look at the following link: www.specialops.org to learn of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. This foundation has received a 4 star rating from Charity Navigator for the last 5 years (Only 5% of charities qualify for this distinction).

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides full scholorship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of Special Operations personnel who die in operational or training missions and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded Special Operations personnel and their families.

I ask that you consider making a donation to this worthwhile charity as a small way for us to show our gratitude. Thanks.

Hard to believe
 

it took 10 years to catch a 7 foot guy on dialysis!....Yipsters! I know I'll get blasted for this one BUT is anyone else surprised that the Navy Seals accomplished this operation....I associate the Navy with WATER!....You would think the Green Beret, CIA, FBI, Marines etc.....Glad they were able to complete this mission thou! After reading TOTV posts, I now understand that SEALS, are the best of the best and applaud them...

I'm going to log on to their site a bit later this morning. Yes a big thanks to our special forces and our military. Unfortunately I will be flying in two days and I'm sure the boarding will be on special alert. Glad they got the SOB.

What else can I say? :MOJE_whot::BigApplause:

Time to pull out this old emblem of our unity

Sadly, I don't think it will make any real difference in the operations of Al Queda (sp?)

I'm thrilled he is gone but his death frightens me. To me, he was as evil as Hitler and his crew. However, when Hitler died, that was it. Their power base was more or less destroyed as well. That is not the case with the Taliban. They still have leaders, money, a following and a focus that the Nazis of yesterday and today do not have. I hope and pray there is no retaliation but I doubt that will be the case.

So, for now, I'll rejoice in the removal of something as evil as Osama Bin Laden and pray that this will end a tragic chapter in the history of the U.S. Americans deserve to celebrate this but, sadly, still be vigilant.

Agree
 

Yes the King Cobra is dead. Hooray! But lets be very careful and keep our eyes open because there are many more snakes in the grass that may have just been awakened.God Bless America & Our Troops who keep us safe!!
