Oklahoma City Memorial
I found it very difficult to capture the emotions felt while visiting the memorial. I hope you can get even just an inkling of the emotions felt.
The memorial consists of a large reflecting pool. At each end is a vertical monument. The one labeled "9:01" signifies the innocence of the world before the bomb exploded at 9:02. The monument labeled "9:03" signifies the recovery that must take place and hope for the future. Off to the side of the reflecting pool is a chair, one for each of the 168 victims. Some of the chairs, 19 of them, are smaller than the rest; these are for the 19 children that perished.
