May 1st, 2011 Osama Bin Laden is killed.
Sunday night at 11pm I was asleep in my room. My mom came in shaking me saying "Ashley, wake up. They killed Osama Bin Laden". I came to and went out into the livingroom with my mom to watch the Special Report on NBC. She had been watching the apprentice (she told me when the special report came on she switched channels, but then went back to see what was going on). Well sure enough I came out and it said "Osama Bin Laden killed." With my brother (in the U.S. Army for almost 9 years now and an Army Ranger for 5-6 years) John serving overseas right now, we both hoped his Ranger unit was the team of guys to raid the compound in Pakistan where Osama was hiding. Come to find out (the next day) it was the Navy Seals. My first emotion was a feeling of relief, then worry. My brother is over there at this very moment. I started thinking "what if they retaliate". I know the war on terror isnt over by any means, but this a great victory for Americans. I am so proud of my brother and all of our soldiers. They are the true heros. They are the ones who sacrifice...time, blood, sweat and tears. I am proud to be an American. God Bless the USA.
