9/11 families and veterans on Osama Bin Laden’s death

The Takeaway

Some of the people most affected by the news that Osama Bin Laden had died were veterans and the families of people killed in the 9/11 attacks. The Takeaway talks with Dennis McKeon, founder of Where to Turn, an organization that helps people affected by the attack. He was also a parishioner of St. Clare’s Roman Catholic Church in Staten Island, which lost 29 members of its congregation on 9/11.
