I can’t believe it is has been almost 15 years since Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols bombed the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK. The bombing killed 168 people, including 19 children.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial opened in April 2000. While we were in Oklahoma City a while back, we decided to visit the memorial.
From the Gates of Time to the Survivor Tree to the Field of Empty Chairs, the Memorial is full of symbols of the horrible act of terrorism that occurred on April 19, 1995. The smaller chairs (representing each of the 19 children killed) are especially sad to see.
If you are ever visiting Oklahoma City, I recommend visiting the Memorial.
We were one of the few people at the memorial the day we visited so I was able to get several unobstructed photos. Here is a slideshow of several of them.
