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. |
