Oklahoma City Memorial

These chairs represent all of the people killed during the bombing - the smaller ones are for the kids that were killed...
The reflection pond used to be the street in front of the building and where the chairs are used to be the footprint of the building.


Lots of gifts and memorials outside of the official area.

The chairs were just to the right of me when I was taking the picture - the large tree in the picture is the one that survived the bomb - on the wall at the end of the reflection pond the time before the blast is posted: 9:01




The other end of the reflection pond - the time after the bomb hit: 9:03 - the United States was forever changed.
We were in Skagway when this happened...we were all in shock that something like this could happen in the heartland of America.
