Tommy and I were in Oklahoma City last week, visiting his family for the Christmas holiday.  While we were there, we took a trip up to see the memorial which has been established at the Federal Building.  I cried, which won't surprise most of you.  This touched me deeply enough that I wanted to share.

The "Survivor Tree," known as such because it survived the bombing.

Each chair represents a victim of the disaster.  One of the most powerful tributes in the memorial.

At the other end, a wall with the time "9:03" engaved stands.  This preserves the time of the explosion, 9:02, for always.  Standing out in the pool of water between the markers sent a real chill.
