Hind sights …
When we were discussing stops along our planned route last summer, one important pause was in Oklahoma City, OK. I have extended family (you met them a week or so ago in the blog) living there I wanted to spend some time with and of course, I wanted to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The Memorial honors the victims, survivors, rescuers and all who were changed forever on April 19, 1995 at 9:02 AM when the Murrah Federal Building was bombed. We viewed the Gates of Time; Reflecting Pool; Field of Empty Chairs; The Fence and the Survivor Tree then came back the next day and went through the Memorial Museum (no cameras were allowed) housed in one end of the Journal Record Building that was right across the street and still stands after some major repair and reconstruction following the blast. The entire experience was very heartrending and although terribly saddened, we were glad that we went.
