By now, you have probably heard that Osama Bin Laden has been announced dead. It's a crazy thing. I know that it's been ten years since the war began but it's odd to realize that it may soon be over. Not a bad odd but a peculiar odd. Ten years, all may be finished. The sacrifices that brave American men and women made have made such an important impact and will not go unnoticed. A few years ago, when Huessein was executed it was just the first of many steps for a little bit of peace in the Middle East. And though we aren't quite there, things keep lining up to make it become a possible reality.
Technology such as facebook and twitter, helped a lot, all that is popping up in my newsfeed seems to be interlinked. Osama Bin Laden, dead. Though the news has been said, there is still that fear of more war. Though the head has been cut off, we have no promise, but we do have hope. Hope that soon the war will come to an end. Hope that through this death, their will be no new leadership in Al Qaeda, no ability to regain their footing. Today is a day, to be proud of our troops, be proud of our country and be thankful for a God that has been watching out over all who have fought, and for the families who lost loved ones in battle. Today is a day, of thanks and reflection. To realize that we are blessed, and to hope that the MidEast will soon meet and experience peace.
