On 9/11/01 America was rocked by Islamic terrorists and we continue to feel the pain every day. One point I want to be clear on is the attack was from Islamic terrorists, not Muslims or Middle Easterners. The terrorists were very calculated and spent years learning to fly and where to make the most impact. No doubt they had the backing of a country who we are not friendly with. It is heartbreaking that so many had to die for us to learn a few lessons.
The pain I felt that morning was overwhelming. I was on the way to the airport to fly to St. Petersburg, Russia when the attack became clear to me, someone on the shuttle asked who would do this and I said Osama Bin Ladin. There was no question in my mind. If I knew so clearly in my gut, why didn’t we see this coming?
There have been many questions asked no doubt but one thing you can count on is America will rally, heal from the pain, and walk forward standing tall.
I’m sending love to everyone who was affected by the attacks and I pray for those who lost a loved one.
America Strong
Melinda

Were you concerned about going to Russia after 9/11? I went on a pilgrimage to Medjugore right afterwards, and I asked our priest if he thought we were safe. He said, #1 we go on pilgrimages because we are called, so we will be protected. and #2 the bombings were not in Medjugore.

I had no fear of going to Russia, it was a life long dream and the people were so wonderful to me. The hotel staff went out of. their way to ake sure I was safe, even calling ahead to a resturant right up the street to have them watching for me. St. Petersburg was very different than Moscow, they were lovely people. I walked the strrets alone including at night and had no problems.
