NewMexiKen had been to the Oklahoma City Memorial before — it’s a well-done and moving tribute to those who lost their lives — and to the survivors and rescuers — in 1995’s terrorist bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. This album has photos I took in 2006 (you may click any image to enlarge).
This trip I also took in the adjacent Oklahoma City Memorial Museum and I urge you to add this to your list of places to see. Without losing sight of the human tragedy — or sensationalizing it — the museum tells the story of the bombing, the rescue and aftermath, the news coverage, the investigation and convictions, and the memorial itself. All of it is very well done — and fascinating.
I also encourage you to revisit the Memorial at night when the chairs representing each of the victims are lighted. Click image for larger version.
