U.S. service members stationed at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan watch President Barack Obama announce the death of Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011.

Six years ago today, the heroes of the U.S. military brought a mass murdering terrorist to justice. Here is what I wrote in the hours following the announcement of the legendary SEAL Team Six raid.

While honoring the warriors who struck down the 9/11 killer in Abbottabad, Pakistan, it is also important to remember that U.S. troops are still stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and many other volatile places around the world, including the Korean Peninsula. Today and every day, I hope Americans will express gratitude toward our selfless men and women in uniform.
