The weight of one mission: Bin Laden Operation May 2, 2011

It’s a scene you never forget. The intensity. The focus. The stillness of a room. The weight of one mission.

Five years ago, I watched in the Situation Room along with President Obama, Vice President Biden, and members of the President’s national security team to see if U.S. Special Operations Forces could deliver the justice that every American had been waiting to see for a decade.

Today, I recounted the behind-the-scenes moments that led to that historic mission. You can read that here.

Thank you,
