building and got into a firefight. bin laden was ordered to give it up but he refused so he was shot and killed. so we went into pakistan, shot him twice, took a blood sample, wrapped him in a sheet, had a muslim burial, plopped him into the sea. >> reporter: well, jamie, certainly there is plenty of celebration, but you won't find it here. the death of osama bin laden has brought back a lot of painful memories of not only the 9/11 terrorist attack here, but also for those who lost their lives. the death of osama bin laden prompted this eighth grade field trip to make a detour to the pentagon memorial where students prayed for the 184 people who died when flight 77 smashed into the defense department's headquarters on 9/11. >> they think of it as almost

as in shadows, you know. they're scared of the event. that's why it's a nice way to put some closure to it, saying the mastermind behind this is now gone. >> reporter: for others like brian ball, the news brought relief. >> relief and hoping he can rest now. >> reporter: ball's friend daniel cablero died in the attack . along with signs of stepped up security at the pentagon, police put up a show of force outside the white house. investigating suspicious behavior and even posting a swat vehicle outside the northgate. retaliation for bin laden's death is on the minds of many. >> i have to get on a plane tomorrow and i am kind of concerned about that. but i know, you know, that we're safe. we'll be safe, you know. the government and the military, i'm not worried with that.

they're always on top of it. >> reporter: the mood on pennsylvania avenue was one of celebration, drawing a pair of women from virginia who said they dropped everything to come here to display the american flag with the families of the 9/11 victims in mind. >> oh, they're getting a lot of justice today. we happen to know that we never stopped thinking about them ever. they are in our prayers and this is definitely something positive for them. >> reporter: a decade after the terrorist attacks there seems to be a widespread sense of relief today that the united states finally caught up with the man responsible for them. reporting live from the pentagon, jeff hager, abc2 news. >> to this day we can all remember, can't we, not a puff of light in the blue sky, a beautiful day and it all changed at 8:46 on a tuesday morning. we lost friends, we lost relatives. but just like that day, on that tuesday we remember a sunday night, may 1, 2011. and today with the mastermind

behind that day dead, people are reflecting on what bin laden's death means. roosevelt leftwich with the news that made us jump out of bed last night and this morning. >> reporter: jamie, people are flying the flag all over the area. they are hoping this is some sort of a turning point. they hope bin laden's death means one of two things. one, hopefully it ends the wars in afghanistan and iraq. and also they hope it ushers in a time of understanding. the dogwood is in bloom in centennial park in columbia. it's peaceful with a light breeze and the honk. canada geese disturbing the air. what matters now that osama bin laden is dead is this. four names, four people with families and loved ones who died in the attack from the pentagon and the world trade center. that's what rich and judy think about on a day like this. the lives lost and the lives changed. >> those grandkids lost their

friends, people in new york lost their dad, their moms who were working in the building. >> reporter: the twisted girders from ground zero are a memorial to those lives as well. a small pot of flowers marked this day as the thought of lives lost is on everyone's mind. instead of celebrating, people are remembering. down the road a veterannary clinic has an electronic flag. >> it's nice that this country is pulling together. i heard what is going on this d.c. and new york city and how, you know, this is something that we have been trying for so long and our troops over there have been working so hard, working on al-qaeda and the terrorists. and so we have made a big accomplishment here, i think, for the country. >> reporter: for others they hope this day marks the beginning of a new you understanding in this country, that bin laden's death will allow people to see that there needs to be a dialogue about islam and muslims in this

country and that the muslim community, like every other religious community in this country, is proud to be american and need to speak out to see this day as a day of justice being served. >> as our president said, don't think he was a muslim leader. he was a mass murderer of muslims. it's a part of your faith to look for absolute justice. and then justice is served, and you be very straight and very clear about that. on the other hand, as an american it's a moment of pride that our country's resolve has prevailed after a decade. >> reporter: now, he says he is also hoping that other moderate muslim voices will also speak out against radical ones. he says that's a good way to start a positive dialogue here in this country. >> let me ask you, it sounds like the tone has toned down a little bit from the whooping it up last night. today it's more of a reflection. is that what you are finding? >> reporter: exactly, because a lot of people say you know, the thing is like a lot of it is excitement about the news, you

have to think about all the thousands of people that died in the world trade center, the pentagon and up in shanksville. when you add up all those lives, the taking of this one life, you know, for many people, although it gives them some sense of closure in this, you have to think about all the people that died in all this and all the other lives that have been lost throughout this ten-year period. they are hoping this will start some positive dialogue now that the mastermind of the 9/11 attack is dead. well, tonight people everywhere with family members. overseas they are taking time to reflect on the developments of pakistan. we stopped at a 24-hour super laundry in aberdeen. several people say they have family in the military. sandra johnson reflects on her grandson's service and importance of a unified country. >> our country showed a good example of how good we stick together when we go through things like that, when we had
