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.
