Veterans and families of victims of the 9/11 attacks are gathering at Ground Zero and elsewhere this morning, to celebrate and reflect on the news that Osama Bin Laden is dead. We speak with Dennis McKeon, a parishioner of St. Clare's Roman Catholic Church in Staten Island, which lost 29 members of its congregation in the 9/11 attacks. McKeon started the organization Where to Turn, which helps those affected by the attack. We also talk with Russell Galeti, first lieutenant in the Ohio National Guard.

When I opened my computer to the NY Times headlines this morning, along the border was a naked woman spray tanned to resemble the lion accompanying her as she advertised perfume.
Until we look deeply at the way our American values have evolved, the death of one man will not make a positive difference to our security or to our soul as a country.
