The State Dept. posts information about traveling abroad, especially in countries where the risk of terrorism is high. I was living in Italy before and after 9/11 and we received warning emails on a regular basis.

On 9/12, I walked around Rome wearing my American flag pin, a copy of an American newspaper in my hands, attended mass at the American Catholic Church AND went to a Burger King and sat and ate ice cream. Perhaps it was foolish, but I was never prouder to be an American.
