WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will meet with participants in the Osama bin Laden raid when he travels to Fort Campbell, Ky., Friday, an administration official said, part of a closed-door effort to express the country's gratitude.

Administration officials have not identified the approximately two dozen Navy SEALs who dropped from helicopters into the compound in Pakistan early Monday, and it is unlikely the names of the men, from the highly specialized Team 6, will ever be known. The meeting will be private. -- The Washington Post
