Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard Commends President Obama, US Forces Following Death of Osama bin Laden
Washington,
May 2, 2011 -
Today Congresswoman Roybal-Allard issued the following statement:
Following the death of terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden, I join my colleagues in Congress and millions of proud Americans in commending our brave men and women in uniform. The outstanding work of the special forces team that conducted the operation reflects the dedication and heroism of countless Americans on distant battlefields since September 11th. I also extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to President Obama for his uncompromising leadership in the fight against violent extremism. He deserves much of the credit for the meticulous planning and flawless execution that made this victory possible. Finally, as the President thoughtfully expressed last night, I am hopeful that the success of this mission will offer some small measure of consolation to the families of the 9-11 victims whose memories we will always honor and cherish.
