Of the Engrossed Bill

By inserting the following language:

“WHEREAS, on May 1, 2011, Osama bin Laden, a terrorist who waged a

radical, violent campaign against the United States for over two decades,

was finally brought to justice by our Commander in Chief President Barack

Obama and a dedicated team of tactically proficient U.S. Navy SEALS; and

WHEREAS, Osama bin Laden’s September 11, 2001, attack against the

United States resulted in the loss of over 3,000 American lives at the

World Trade Center, at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania; and

WHEREAS, since that fateful day our great country has lost more than

6,000 veterans in our post-9/11 wars with over 50,000 veterans wounded and

disabled; and

WHEREAS, from the onset of his time in office, President Barack Obama

vowed to pursue Osama bin Laden as our biggest national security priority,

even if it meant crossing international borders or disturbing our alliance

with Pakistan; and

WHEREAS, after 10 years since 9/11 in which bin Laden had been able to

evade what amounted to the largest manhunt in international history, he

was finally found by U.S. forces in a city just outside the capital city

of Pakistan; and

WHEREAS, at the direction of President Barack Obama, the United States

launched a targeted operation against the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan

which housed Osama bin Laden, and without the loss of any American lives,

bin Laden was killed by a small team of courageous U.S. Navy SEALS; and

WHEREAS, the death of terrorist Osama bin Laden strikes a harsh blow

to the symbolic nature of al Qaeda and their ideology; and

WHEREAS, the acts of bravery exhibited by U.S. troops in the war on

terror are not at a point of completion, but the world certainly feels

greater relief in knowing that terrorists who commit acts of murder will

eventually be brought to justice.”
