Bin Ladennnnnn

So the past two weeks have been busy and great! Diego and I had been together a month and we had officially survived our first month of this deployment! As we were checking week 5 off of our countdown we found out that Osama Bin Laden had finally been found, and killed. After almost 10 years of looking for this terrorist they had finally found him and gave him the outcome that our entire country had been looking for since the day the towers fell on September 11, 2001. Osama has been a well known name for my entire generation from the day that the attacks took place. Everyone has been looking for him. Countless Americans have died in this war to find this sick man. However it is just beginning. Right now our country is celebrating this great victory, however it is not meaning that it is over. Our troops are still over there fighting for this war, and are still risking their lives. They are worried about retaliation from Al Qaeda for the death of their leader. This means all of our security, in country and out, will be tightened and our military is risking their lives even more. Communication for deployed troops will be stricter and will more than likely go out. I am very proud of the men and women who have fought for this country to get to this point, and am very proud of the people still fighting. I am so glad that the victims of 9/11 and this crazy war finally have "revenge" and closure. I just want everyone to keep praying for our military still fighting this war to protect our freedom!
