    Some may see a man who had the strongest power in the world. But I see a very stressed man. Truly heartful.

    I will never, ever forget. The morning after, in middle school, during lunch- due to the lack of kids having social media at the time, the entire lunch room in the school erupted, going absolutely mad in relief, and in unity. Such a beautiful day that really was. Has not been a day like that, since.

    Nobody understands how dangerous that mission was. It was like a final call of duty boss mission. Nobody had any idea if those navy seals where going to make it back home. The most wanted man in America and on the planet. The amount of security, outsiders bin Laden paid to keep his home, family & himself from harms way to make sure he’s still breathing to continue his blood bath of killing THOUSANDS of Americans. I don’t think those men who completed the mission don’t get enough credit. All I remember was waking up that morning at 5am seeing on the news that bin Laden died and was captured. Entire America went nuts! It gave us some closure that we actually had a president who did the unthinkable that no other president wouldn’t had done. Forever thankful for our Military men and woman who serve this country & very thankful for OBAMA.

    This was such an iconic moment for America. You just had Americans working together, working to eliminate a terrorist who caused so much damage to our country. I know there will be negative replies to my comment, and some of them may be valid, but this moment should be remembered as a moment of pride for everyone who loves our nation.

    If you are sending troops into a dangerous mission, you should have tension in the room.

    I'm a professional photographer who works with elected officials, and Pete Souza had THE best gig. His outstanding work will be referenced for a very long time.

    Just to see that and hear the chants for USA brings tears to my eyes. We used to be a much more unified nation. We had no idea how great we had it back then.
  • @GaryY
    I miss the days when it felt people were more united in this way. 🕊☮💖
  • Pete Souza, the only presidential photographer’s name I have known in my 71 years of life. Such great photographic documentation of a presidency!

    I went to a college in Northern Virginia. We were walking outside and one of my friends comes running up to me and says "WE GOT HIM!!". He explained and we all hopped in a car and drove to the white house. It was an incredible night.

    I strongly encourage people to research things in history, deeply, further than the surface, to be able to get the full picture and be able to say you are standing on solid ground.

    If anyone believes that they would not be under complete stress, worried about the people going into this situation. You would have to be out of your mind!!
  • Obama was really “THAT GUY”. Even in such a stressful situations, you can see that he was up for the moment

    I remember this like yesterday, I was in 8th grade, everybody was talking about it in home room just pure chaos, what a time to be alive 🎯
  • @kiaramurray832
    What a time to be alive and an adult and to understand and feel how powerful and stressful this was at the time. The way the country came together in unison was a beautiful thing too
  • @ervingreen4443
    I wish this country was always this united. Shouldn’t take acts of terror to bring us together.
  • @hellyeahdude305
    I remember the exact pool table in the bar I was at when this was announced on television...what a time to be alive
