> Dear Friends,

>

> I have just arrived home from Stockholm, Sweden. As most of you are

> aware I have worked in Stockholm for many years off and on for a Swedish

> lawyer as a liaison in regards to his

> US tart cases.

>

> My love for the Swedes and their cosmopolitan lifestyle has always

> enchanted me. As a whole I have never felt more kindness or freedom than

> I do while working in Stockholm. I roam

> the street a lone late at night. I stop and have conversation with

> strangers, never worrying of any harm which might come to me.

>

> Today marks a horrible day in the history of our country. As a American,

> September 11 will always saddens my heart, and bring tear to my eyes.

> The deaths of so many innocent

> people, such a pointless waste. I only hope someday I will feel the

> freedom we once so cherished in the US. Not to walk in fear. I believe

> as a race of people (AMERICAN PEOPLE) we

> are over all a kind country of gentle people. However, I feel when I am

> in New Orleans or in any large city in the US unsafe to travel alone

> after dark. Something is terribly wrong, and I

> have no suggestions which might change the existing problems we

> encounter with crime.I just know my ancestors fled Europe for a better

> life. What happened?

>

> In all of Europe today, at the approximate time of the attack on our

> nation for the observance everything stopped for 3 min. of silence to

> pray for those who were murdered on 9/11.I was

> waiting to board a flight back to Norway at the time and it caught me by

> surprise. I didn't think the rest of the world really cared. As I looked

> around where I was standing I noticed many

> people had tears in their eyes. When the 3 min. were over church bells

> were rung from every steeple. A couple standing next to me turned and

> expressed their sorry for my

> countrymen, and the pain this has caused our nation. Before I could walk

> away I had perfect strangers shaking my hands, giving me hug, patting me

> on the back.As I stood their with

> tears running down my cheeks a older gentlemen walked over to offer me

> his handkerchief.His condolence was simple and will stay with me for the

> rest of my life.He said we are all

> people on this small earth,and he hoped he'd live to see people and

> nations someday understand we have no place else to go.We must learn to

> live in peace together. This is the only

> EARTH we have! He kissed me on both cheeks and walked away.For the rest

> of the afternoon every where I have been people have given me lovely

> thoughts in regards to being a

> American, and deep regrets to what has happened. So to you my love one's

> I say , I'm proud to be an American, but I want my freedom back. The

> freedom my ancestors paid for with

> their lives, the country they built from sticks and stones.The heritage

> they left us, freedom, values and integrity. Yes, it has a price, but it

> is a price worth paying.

>

> I wish you all peace and love, and hope today did not give you to much

> pain.

> May God bless America, and her people,
