CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — First lady Michelle Obama said Saturday that the U.S. military specialists who killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden showed “the very essence” of public service.
Obama made her first public remarks about bin Laden’s death during the commencement address at the University of Northern Iowa. U.S. officials have said Navy SEALs shot and killed bin Laden and four others Monday at his luxury compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The first lady evoked the SEALs’ actions as part of a call for the graduating class to engage in public service after they leave the university.
