Reader Forum: What Do You Think About the Death of Osama bin Laden?

President Barack Obama confirmed on Sunday night that the U.S. Military located and killed Osama bin Laden earlier that day. Needless to say, after 10 years of searching for the mastermind of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2011, this is big news.

And we want to know what you think about it.

Where were you when you heard the news? Do you have friends and family serving overseas? Do Sunday's events make you feel safer? Do you think troops will now be able to come home?

We're also looking for your September 11 stories. Where were you when you heard that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had been attacked? What are your memories of that day?

Here is a statement from U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren:

"The death of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the vicious attacks of September 11, 2001, is a victory for freedom and justice. While his death is welcome news, it does not mean that we have triumphed over the ideology of hatred he espoused, nor over those who would seek to use violence in its advancement. To those who would seek to do us harm, the death of bin Laden is a stark reminder that we will not rest in our quest to bring them to justice.

The bravery and dedication of our men and women in uniform and in our intelligence services is an inspiration to all Americans, and I am grateful for all that they do."
