After coming
here to Oklahoma every summer for the last four years we finally went to the Memorial for the Oklahoma Bombing. It was a beautiful memorial and humbling. It is amazing how just one person can do so much damage!!!They had a spot for kids to draw with chalk, in memory of the kids that died there. Jed seemed to learn a lot from it but Evan just wanted to draw. After 14 year and all the rain we got this summer we still had a hard time finding a place for the kids to draw. You can tell the people here still hold it close to there hearts.
They also had a field of empty chairs. One for every person killed and a name carved on each chair. It was so humbling to see it all set up that way. I think they did a wonderful job with the memorial, it seem to be a perfect way to honor and remember the victims of this tragedy.
I bet you're glad that you finally went and saw it. I remember the tragedy and how forrifying it was I think it's great that you took you're family there and that they have such a beautiful memorial for all of the victims and so that we won't forget what happened.
