The Tribune asked readers on its Facebook page to share their reaction to the news about Osama bin Laden. The following are the comments received through this morning:

“Hooray!” — David Braun

“It’s a great thing for the USA and should have happened along time ago.” — Bruce Doeden

“I wonder if we can pull our troops out then.” — Brandon James Lawrence

“Today will be remembered forever. Justice has been served and America is celebrating. God Bless America and the U.S. troops!” — Trisha Biesterfeld

“Does this mean our troops get to come home?” — Aruna Evenson

“I didn’t realize how emotional this would be. For 9 1/2 years I’ve been afraid to fly, and when I did board a plane I always thought about bin Laden. I won’t have to do that now. We lived outside of D.C. after 9/11, and I was nervous taking my kids into D.C. because of bin Laden. This feels like a huge sigh of relief after holding our breath for so long.” — Joanna Ravlin

“Let’s not forget that it was our men and women in uniform who got it done — despite a threat of a pay cut. Also, without Bush doing the research he did 10 years ago, we wouldn’t know bin Laden had done this, and he wouldn’t be dead now.” — Amy M. Patten

“Glad bin Laden (a mass murderer) is dead, but the fight isn’t over yet. We need to take down more of his followers, but for now it’s good enough. Justice has been served and maybe now people affected by Sept. 11 can get some well needed closure.” — Angie Fickett

“Another one bites the dust! Look out, Kahdafi, we’re cleaning house!” — Chris Cords

“I’m happy that some sort of justice was finally brought to bin Laden, but I wish the outcome would have been different. I’m sure he would have killed himself had he been captured. The results would most likely have been similar; however, the person behind the trigger would have been different. — Marley BrownBear Cardona

“Best news I heard all day. It’s not over yet though. It sounds like a lot more cells out there. Hopefully our troops will get ’er done!” — Marcia Johnson

“What should not be overlooked is the closure this may bring for the families and friends of both 9/11 victims and our fallen military heroes.” — Matt Suomi

“I find it interesting this suddenly happens on the heels of an election campaign, when Obama’s credibility is way down. The timing is perfect for Obama. Even if Osama was the head of what happened on 9/11 (which I doubt), just eliminating him will not quell the forces of the al-Qaida. If anything, he has just become a martyr, and will strengthen the hatred they have toward the USA. Prepare for the worst, folks; it’s just begun.” — Jeremy Boeck

“As we all sit here and thank God that bin Laden is dead, please keep in mind all the soldiers and their families that are fighting in Afganistan as well! They all fear for the saftey of their husbands and wives! Please say an extra prayer for all of them over there. God bless our troops and their families who stand beside them!” — Michelle Lackey Lacher

“All I can say is: God bless the USA and God bless our troops. I love being an American.” — Guy A. Overland

“I am absolutely appalled that this nation is actively celebrating a death, regardless of whose it was. Yes, perhaps some sort of closure has come for family members of 9/11 victims, but let’s not forget those countless innocent people killed as a result of U.S. retaliation in the Middle East. (God bless America? No, I think God’s probably pretty disgusted right now).” — Amy Marie Sandager

“Being a military spouse myself, and living at the worlds largest Naval base in the world, Norfolk, Va., I pray for those service men and woman who are serving this great country! Now that Osama is dead we cannot let our guards down. We have a feeling things are about to get uglier overseas. We need prayers and lots of them!” — Amanda Lannoye

“I am very thankful that our troops who have served so bravely for so long have been able to bring down the man that has killed so many innocent people. This man was a murderer who is responsible for killing innocent men, women and children both American and otherwise. Now, as many of us (including myself) celebrate the end of bin Laden, let us not forget to say a prayer for the soldiers who are still there to continue to fight the al-Qaida to make this country and others safe! God bless!” — Kelly Meislahn
