Oklahoma City National Memorial

  The morning of April 19, 1995 reminded us all that man can be as devastating as mother nature. At 9:02 am CST a massive blast destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. Sadly, a total of 168 men, women, and childen were lost in the senseless destruction. Those travelling through Oklahoma in search of nature's fury should place a visit to this site to reflect upon this moment in time where both tears and heroism came together.
