Bin Laden is most well known for his role in masterminding the September 11 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people in the United States.

He subsequently became the subject of a decade-long international manhunt. From 2001 to 2011, bin Laden was a major target of the United States, as the FBI offered a $25 million bounty in their search for him.

On May 2, 2011, bin Laden was shot and killed by US Navy SEALs inside a private residential compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The covert operation was conducted by members of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (SEAL Team Six) and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Here are two movies that depict the long planning and quick execution to capture and kill Osama bin Laden.

In any list of all-time best romantic movies, you'll see these titles: Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love Story (1970).

It will be Valentine's Day soon, and you might want to celebrate the day by watching these movies with your loved one. For those of us who were teenagers at the time, memories could come rushing back. Or, you'll find them corny now.

In Splendor, it's Warren Beatty's first film role, and he gets to star opposite a radiant Natalie Wood in a romance that takes place at the end of the '20s and the beginning on the '30s, focusing on how society's views at the time shape their relationship.

For those who want to watch their romances with a big box of guaranteed-to-be-used-up tissues, Love Story is the perfect weepy romance. It's also notable for gifting us the phrase, "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

The Bourne franchise consists of action-thriller installments based on the character Jason Bourne, created by author Robert Ludlum. The franchise includes five theatrical films, and a spin-off prequel television series.

The overall plot centers around Jason Bourne, a CIA assassin suffering from dissociative amnesia, portrayed by Matt Damon.

Matt Damon earned his action star cred in this acclaimed thriller series adapted from the novels of Robert Ludlum, playing an amnesiac superspy whose search for answers uncovers a vast government conspiracy. After a brief detour with Jeremy Renner in 2012's The Bourne Legacy (which was partially shot in Manila), Damon returns in Jason Bourne to pick up where he left off.

Jon Hamm plays Mason Skiles, who in 1972 was a happy U.S. diplomat just before the worst night of his life. A friend and colleague of Mason named Cal (Mark Pellegrino) comes to him and gives him shattering news—their 13-year-old ward Karim is the younger brother of a known terrorist, the man responsible for orchestrating the Munich Olympics attack, and there’s reason to believe that Karim has been in contact with his sibling.

As Mason is trying to negotiate a peaceful way to extricate Karim safely and not disrupt his party or his family, Karim’s brother’s people show up and everything goes to hell. Karim is taken; Mason's wife is shot.

Cut to roughly ten years later—Mason is an alcoholic, working labor disputes in Boston, when he’s contacted and told that he’s needed by the CIA in Beirut.

A family tree is the most common form of visually documenting one's ancestry. Most family tree charts include a box for each individual and each box is connected to the others to indicate relationships.

Typically, a generation is organized into a single level so it's easy to see at a glance which ancestors preceded which generation because they are physically above them on the tree. A horizontal line between two boxes indicates a marriage. A bracket from a couple to a lower set of boxes indicates the children from that marriage.

The trees presented here are that of the Ciriaco Apepe, Jr. Family and the Alfonso Apdujan Family.

With the marriage of daughter Alessandra, the trees are updated to show a latest addition - a son-in-law.

O Captain! My Captain! was written by the great American poet, Walt Whitman in 1865.

The poem is a meditation on the death of President Abraham Lincoln. Whitman was immensely moved by President Lincoln's assassination on April 14, 1865. Though pleased with the outcome of the Civil War, Whitman was despondent over the death of Abraham Lincoln, considered one of the greatest presidents of the United States of America.

Lincoln fought a war (the American Civil War) against the Southern States to give the Negro slaves freedom and human dignity.
