Wrentham's Elected Officials React to Bin Laden Killing

Wrentham’s state and national elected officials issued statements on the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Senator Scott Brown

This is a great day for America and our allies across the free world. Osama Bin Laden has finally gotten the justice he deserved. I commend President Obama, former President Bush and the highly capable men and women in our military and intelligence community whose tireless work over the last decade made this day possible. It is also a time to reflect on the victims of 9/11 and their families, as well as those who have died across the world fighting terrorism. Let this be a lesson that there is no sanctuary in the world for America's enemies.”

Senator John Kerry

"A single death does not end the threat from Al Qaeda and its affiliated groups. We must remain vigilant."

Congressman James McGovern

"Like all Americans, I felt great relief and a sense of gratitude as I listened to the President's announcement about the death of Osama bin Laden. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the men and women in our intelligence and military operations who have labored for a decade to carry out this mission. Let us remember those who lost their lives on 9/11. My thoughts are with their loved ones, including the many families in Massachusetts and the 3rd District.”

 Governor Deval Patrick

"On behalf of the people of Massachusetts and all others who suffered the profound loss of the September 11, 2001 attacks, I congratulate and thank President Obama and the soldiers and intelligence personnel who carried out this mission. We also remember our Massachusetts servicemen and women who continue their extraordinary efforts to rid the world of terrorism. Let us heed the President's call to unite, as we did in the months of mourning following that terrible day, to make a better, safer and more just world."
