STATEMENT: Rogers on Osama bin Laden's Death

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, U.S. Representative Hal Rogers (KY-05) released the following statement, commending the U.S. Armed Forces in their successful mission to take down al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden:

"Almost ten years ago, Osama bin Laden orchestrated the most heinous terror attacks on American soil. Instead of cowering and capitulating, our nation and our allies rose up against this international menace. I applaud the men and women of our Armed Forces who have pursued relentlessly and fought bravely, some paying the ultimate sacrifice, to bring this villain to justice. Today, while our flag flies strong and true, we must never forget the families or the lessons of 9/11."

Rogers has served Kentucky’s 5th Congressional District since 1981. With a focus on economic development, job creation, fighting illegal drugs and preserving Appalachia’s natural treasures, he has a reputation for listening to his constituents and fighting for the region he represents.
